Using TeamViewer on Ubuntu Linux to manage other systems
TeamViewer provides
software that will allow you to remotely control a system from another
system. You can use it to remotely troubleshoot a system, share a desktop
remotely, or transfer files between systems. The software runs on Android,
iOS, Linux, OS X, Windows, Windows Phone, and Windows RT systems.
You don't have to install client software on a Linux system to use it as
a remote management system to manage other systems. You can simply use
a browser, such as Firefox, to connect to the remote system through the
TeamViewer website. But installing the TeamViewer client software on a
Linux system and using it will give you additional features not present
in the browser-based method. E.g., you can adjust the screen resolution
for the client's display of the remote desktop, take screen snapshots
on the remote system, transfer files, etc.

ASCII Art
Before today's
Graphical User
Interfaces (GUIs), computer users were presented with an entirely
text-based interface. Those old enough to remember those days may also remember
ASCII art where
artists constructed images entirely from the characters available to them
via their keyboards, i.e., the 95 printable characters available from the
128 possible characters one could have using just 7
bits. The term "ASCII art" was
used because the characters were defined by the
ASCII Standard from 1963, a
standard that on March 11, 1968 U.S. President
Lyndon Baines
Johnson mandated that all computers purchased by the U.S. government
support.
An example of such art is the "smiling dragon" below.

For anyone nostalgic for the days when online art was text-based,
textfiles.com
has a subdomain, Art Scene
where you can peruse some of the old ASCII art.
Some of the oldest examples of ASCII art were creations from the 1960's by
Kenneth Knowlton,
a computer graphics pioneer and artist who worked at
Bell Labs.
