Getting round client's firewall

If you go for the home system, you just need any old pc that will run linux. Once it's setup, it just sits in the corner with no monitor\keyboard on it cluttering things up.

Customer sites I have tried all let ssh out.

That's what I do. I have an old Dell precision 410 (P3-550/256Mb/9G SCSI) with Ubuntu on it doing pretty much everything around the house ;)
 
Of course, you could stick to following the policies and acceptable user guidelines that the client has in place for good reason.

You can also do what is suggested in the knowledge that if you are found out you could be frogmarched out of the office with no notice on your now terminated contract.

Just a thought...
