"dedicated terminal" ::
Oops - one of those bits of background information that we *nix people just assume everyone knows:
Once a user gets the remote command line terminal working (either telnet or ssh) - they think "that's it".
An assumption imprinted on the world of users by Operating Systems that charge you extra money to log on more than once at a time.
You can open and connect multiple terminal sessions at the same time to Linux (*nix) systems - even a Kindle.
There is some limit, but you will lose track of what you are doing in each of the different terminal sessions long before the Kindle looses track.
Go to:

Leave choices at default values **EXCEPT** for "OS Family" - set to "Linux".
Press submit -
Result: 482 of the worlds 500 top supercomputers are running Linux (the same Linux your Kindle runs - there is only one Linux).
(( two (2) of them run Windows ))
(Amazon's ec2 web services machine is #64 and the ec2 compute (batch) machine is #165 if your looking for them.
Just in case anyone thinks they don't have the horsepower to track what everyone is reading.)
Translation:
You can log on a lot more sessions than just one at a time under Linux.
