My terminal is not very comfortable. Especially, if you want to run several related commands in a row. But it might be handy if you want to run only some one-liners. And of course, using the keyboard of your computer is so much more fun than taping on the touch screen.
A small draw back of Sergey's USBnet under windows is, that you need elevated rights to install the "unrecommended" driver. This is a problem if you have a to use PCs that belong to somebody else.
