Debugging a "remote" Android device with Xamarin?

So I am needing to do some debugging with Xamarin Android. This wouldn't be such a problem if the emulator wasn't so slow. So, I looked at setting up the x86 emulator, but because I'm running Xamarin within VMWare (host machine is Linux), that won't work. My best bet is to install either the x86 accelerated android, or use something like Android-x86 from my host machine.

How could I get Xamarin to connect to a device that not's running on the same machine though?

What is remote debugging?

Remote debugging is when you debug an application running in a place or environment different from your local machine in a way that resembles local debugging. The point of this is for developers to debug components of distributed systems without difficulty.

It's possible to configure ADB to debug over the network instead of USB. Check out Xamarin's document titled Setup Device for Development, and scroll down to the section titled Connect the Device to Computer for directions on how to do so.
