Search what you are looking to do and you will definitely find answers. It's much easier than watching a forum and waiting for someone to spoon feed it to you. If you don't know what you are doing in the first place, you probably shouldn't jailbreak your phone at all :)</p> People, google is very useful tool.

Thoms: I believe that SSH would work over 3G (depends on what the carrier blocks/allows) because SSH is also used for traffic over the internet. You can use SSH, and many do, just CHANGE YOUR FRIGGIN PASSWORD!!! And install the SB Settings toggle for SSH so you can turn it off when you are not using it. As long as you think about your iPhone being a castle, and SSH being the main gate into the castle, you should be fine. Close the gate when you are not using it...</p> @W.
