It has ssh _now_[1], but no alsamixer. Maybe I can find the alsa-utils for
installation. I'm pretty sure alsa itself is there since "mpg321 -o alsa"
works.
[1] There are two implementations of SSH, the familiar OpenSSH and something
called "Dropbear". I was reading a guide and the author recommended
OpenSSH because the Dropbear binary was named "dropbear" and he couldn't
deal with that. Seems to me an alias or at worst a wrapper script would
take care of that (if Dropbear has other desirable qualities), but I
followed the guide and installed OpenSSH.
