That looks handy. you can use screen to do a similar thing which is much easier to install on the actual Linux server, and works with windows, Linux and mac One

  Screen is a good tool and does have a collaborative feature. But it requires the following: 1 - install screen and configure the collaboration on your server 2 - create a user on your server for the other person to login 3 - the other person logging in must be able to route directly to your server. The ip for the server must be public and SSHD listener must accept connect from anywhere. 4 - The other person can login and "collaborate" with your screen session whether you are logged-in/watching or not. The only security is to shut down your screen session or change your screen config file / stop the sharing. 5 - with screen you cannot interactively/quickly change modes between read-write, read-only, etc... ShellShadow works as a client terminal relay. You setup a session between you and another user. You use the ShellShadow client (enhanced PuTTY) for your collaboration. There is nothing to setup and manage on your server. In fact your server is oblivious to the collaboration. One extra cool feature is this works with any terminal you can connect to: your Cisco router, your iPhone CLI, etc...
