ssh demo

Here is the reason why I tried to demo a website from powerpoint… I needed to demonstrate how to use a new Unix application, but I wanted to do that from my powerpoint presentation. After some time spent on google, I didn’t find any way to integrate a ‘unix terminal’ component in a power point slide.

So my solution was to use the embedded browser and use Ajaxterm to connect to a remote linux host… This works… but there is a limitation as it’s not possible to use PageUp, PageDown to go up and down in your terminal… In order to fix that, you can start ‘screen’ on your unix host, and then you can navigate in your terminal using Ctrl+b, Ctrl+f.

I believe that there is a cleaner to connect to a unix host from powerpoint… but I didn’t find it. If you know other solution… please share :)

Some links to finish, I didn’t try anyterm but it looks cool too…
