Where "remote" means anywhere within reach of networking.

With the appropriate changes to the Kindle and your home network, to setup the reguired routing and firewalling -
Even if I was six time zones away, given your permission and a proper username / password, I could have a (ssh) terminal session __on__ your Kindle.

When the folks who put together *nix thought "remote" they didn't mean just down the hall.
