Can the Pine Phone be serviced and updated remotely?

Hi Folks,

I am looking for help/service on my 3 Pine Phones. Can these be remotely serviced and updated? Does anyone provide this service? Basically, I would like to pay someone to update and service my Pine Phones. Looking for some superstars. 

Thank you very much,

Jeff

As far as software it should basically be the same as remotely working with any Linux server or desktop system via ssh (maybe initiate a reverse ssh connection out to the person performing the service).

Hi Zebulon,

Loved your show as a kid, thanks for your response. Basically what I am looking for is someone to update these 3 pine phones for me. I'd like to keep them current and loaded correctly. I just don't have the experience so I was hoping I could pay someone to do this for me. Any suggestions?

Doing updates is pretty simple on most if not all Linux distributions. (For example in Mobian you would just run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" in a terminal.) A potential problem though is that if an update goes terribly wrong it may not be possible to recover remotely.
