I've been able to get most symbols to work. Check the wiki out, it has the keys for much of what you're looking for:

Last night, I installed ssh on Ubuntu running on my TP2 and was sshed into to it from my laptop. Having access to a fullsized keyboard was nice. I'm going to put Apache on this and serve up a K3wL website from my pocket.

You have to do this to get it to work:

1)Open lxterminal and run
Code:

iwlist eth0 scan essid YOUR_AP

where YOUR_AP is the SSID of your WiFi router.
2) Now click on that connection monitor icon near the time applet. After you click refresh your router (and perhaps some other APs) should appear in the list. First click on Properties and scroll down till the very end. There you can choose your encryption and enter the password. Hit OK when done. After that you just have to click on Connect and WiFi should work. I hope.

...

The above blurb was copied directly from the Ubuntu on Rhodium thread at xda.

When I did this, I found that /etc/resolv.conf was not updated with the DNS information for my network so I updated it by hand. After doing so, I was able to start firefox and browse the web.

Edit: Oh, I see the lxterm steps were already posted to this thread. Well, yeah, you have to do those.

My SSID contains underscores in it and I can't figure out how to make them using the keyboard. If I try to scan without using the underscores in my SSID it won't work.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hey can you edit the name of your SSID? If not you can use symbols from the word processor and copy and paste it using fn+v

I have a Verizon TP2 and for me, I can do an underscore by holding down the "email key" (the key with a picture of a mailbox on it) and hitting the "P" key.

Working for me as well, Kudos!

Also, here's an important link for the Rhobuntu wiki via the XDA forums thread. I'd put it in your original post for easy Wiki access.
