I put my throughout development environment on my linode for couple of years and think that it's a good for availability. As an example, I developed MultiplayerChess.com is on my Linode server. I don't have an IPhone or IPad yet but I see that it's great to access a full utilized development environment from anywhere... Let's turn this topic to a usesthis.com for CLI lovers. CLI apps that I use are tmux (In addition to the previous comments not recommending Screen, I highly recommend Tmux), Emacs, VIM (I use Emacs as an IRC and Twitter client, an IDE and a self-organizer, VIM as a file editor), newsbeuter for RSS and links for browsing. My choice of distribution is Arch Linux. if you wonder about my Emacs configuration, it's in my Github; github.com/azer/emacsfiles
