My question is - will it provide me with shell right on the kindle screen? Basically, I want to be able to use kindle as ssh _client_ and be able to connect from it to other servers.

thanks!

Well sort of; you will not get a command prompt and have to do it all from the text input box.

There is an ~exec command that you can use to launch scripts on the Kindle and you can use the "launchpad" script (see elsewhere in this forum on MR.com) to create shortcuts from the Kindle keyboard. So to use the Kindle as a client would require you to ~exec a script that lets you connect to all those servers and you can assign that to "shift x" on the HOME page.
