	=== Step 1 (setting up) ===

	Install an SSH-server and x11vnc on your home computer and an SSH-client on your ~~n900~~. If you have a router you need to port forward port 22. Normaly you can login on the router using your browser. Just write the adress "192.168.1.1" in the ~~adress~~ field. You also need to allow port 22 on your firewall (i used Firestarter for that).		Install an SSH-server and x11vnc on your home computer and an SSH-client on your [[Nokia N900\|N900]]. If you have a router you need to port forward port 22. Normaly you can login on the router using your browser. Just write the adress "192.168.1.1" in the address field. You also need to allow port 22 on your firewall (I used Firestarter for that).

	ssh-keygen -t dsa		ssh-keygen -t dsa
	Put the files in "/home/<user>/.ssh/". Change "<user>" to the one on your home computer. One will be named "id_dsa" and the other "id_dsa.pub". You will probably have to make the folder "/home/user/.ssh/" on your ~~n900~~.		Put the files in "<code>/home/<user>/.ssh/</code>". Change "<code><user></code>" to the one on your home computer.

			* On my Ubuntu machine I installed OpenSSH-server and x11vnc. Opened the port 22 on my firewall and router.

	ssh -C -L 5900:localhost:5900 user@ip-number		ssh -C -L 5900:localhost:5900 user@ip-number
	Write ~~you~~ home computers password when it is asking. It is not necessary to use "-C" but i recommend it. It will compress the stream and make it go ~~smother~~ on a 3g connection. The "user" is the user and "ip-number" the ip-number of your home computer. You could use a dynamic ip-number provider.. like http://www.no-ip.com.
