Yes of course. I think your are encouraged to do that.

ssh is not in the default software set, but you can install openssh
easily from Software Manager.
I use it everyday and it works perfectly.

Not at all. If you want to spend some time exploring the philosophy behind
the tablets, go to the Ari Jaaksi blog:

May be the original Nokia 770 presentation is a good starting point.
