This is a big deal for high school students. They can use a school-issued laptop, but they can't install custom software (like an ssh client), so sites like Cloud9 provide access to something that would otherwise by inaccessible to them.

- userbinator 11y agoSSH clients do not need installation. I keep a copy of PuTTY on my USB drive for this scenario.
- brianwawok 11y agoMy high school did not allow running programs off of a USB drive in 2000. Would be surprised if security is lower now.
