Jojo to play Linux hacker

Johane, listen carrefully little girl:

Dady recently got hisself a La Crosse Technology WS3500 weather station. It comes with a serial cable for connecting it to the home PC. You've already guessed it, the CDROM accompanying the station has no Linux driver, windows only. I'd like you to site down, take your keyboard, and cook up a nice, full-blown, Linux driver for dady. As programming is new to you I've started googling around for you: there already are two existing open source projects, Open3600 for the WS3600 station, and Open2300 for the WS23xx series. You have 3 months... Be strong, and to not disappoint your father.

This guy Kimmo Suominen wrote a good Getting started with SSH web page. Really good starting point for anyone interested in using ssh.
