-Y for X11 (GUI) support, allowing you to run things like netbeans and firefox from the client. As a compsci student, being able to easily edit your netbeans project from the device in your pocket is stupidly useful.

Be so kind as to explain: your N810 is "going to be retired as a server for my external hard drive"?
Sure thing. I hook up my externally powered hard drive to my n810 with a microUSB male -> USB A female cable, hook it up to my wifi network at home, write down the IP address somewhere and SSH/SCP onto it to get my files from the drive at a MIND BLOWING 300 KB/s (or whatever the silly cap of the wifi chip is). Maybe if I'm feeling adventurous, I'll make it an FTP server register a domain name to use for it.

Sorry if you thought I meant somehow permanently fixing a hard drive into my n810 :P
