[kwlug-disc] Using mosh

[CrankyOldBugger]

I was interested in Mosh a year or so ago, but never actually got using
it.  However, you do need to install it on the server as well as the
client.  Any existing SSH keys or accounts will work with Mosh.

I found an article that outlines the differences/similarities between SSH
and Mosh here:  http://linuxpitstop.com/ssh-vs-mosh/

Keep in mind, though, that Mosh uses SSH in the background to do the actual
port listening, and for initiating the connection.  At some point after
establishing a connection Mosh will take over from SSH and starts the Mosh
server on the remote end.  SSH is in fact discarded and the Mosh connection
continues via UDP.
