[Voyage-linux] Can't SSH in Alix upon initial install

[bob]

Hi Nick,

don't think the initial install should make a difference.

any chance your connection attempts are on something other than port 22?

How about trying an outbound ssh from the ALIX via your serial 
connection, and check that you can ping your desktop from the ALIX.

Aloha,
bob
