Greetings List Lurkers.

I posted a question some time ago about linux on a tablet. After some searching, I came 
upon http://emperorlinux.com/hardware/tablet/?srq=tablet&srp=0&srn=0. Perhaps 
Flint has liberated the Kindle at this point. I am unsure. I am having fun with the 
linux based https://sailfishos.org/ on my nexus 5: not quite a tablet, but linux on a 
small device anyway.

I had a question about ssh passphrases. How many people use them for ssh? Is it 
a Bad Idea not to use them? *If* I said I didn't use them, would a collective 
gasp be heard across VAGUE land?

If the weakness of the public/private key pair is the danger that someone gets 
access to your file system and copies your private key, is it recommended 
practice that the passphrase *not* be in a file somewhere?

Can anyone point to best practices for choosing ssh passphrases? I think it 
needs to be long, easily memorable and highly entropic which all seem 
contradictory.

Thanx all.
