Inexpensive Development Platform for J2EE

Once the server is ready (see my previous article) I need a similar inexpensive development environment. Inexpensive it's OK but uncomfortable would be bad. I have two different choices: the first is to create a small development corner on my office workstation. The second would be to buy a a net-book and use it as dedicated appliance.

The first option has the advantage of a powerful hardware and a large screen. The net-book is small and may be used everywhere. I decided to investigate both environments because the first is suitable for developing a new project or a major release and the second seems to be suitable for support and small changes.

Key-Based SSH Logins

I did found a lot of pages with good explanation of the theory and / or how to setup client and server and I don't want to write another one. The motivation of this article is only to have a concise check list to use with "copy & paste" when I have to set up a such login.
