SSH install info

[mrkshrt at transparentsolutions.com]

If you need to ssh from windows I recommend this:
http://www.siliconcircus.com/penguinet/index.php
I've been using it for quite a while, it also now has scp.
Just checked, it is about $22.
Has a free trial version as well.

Now, any recommendations on a free or cheap Xwindows client for windows
2000?
This would be for very infrequent use.

My SSH Experience:

-Run the command "apt-get install ssh" on my Linux box
-Wait for Debian package management magic to finish
-Install PuTTY on my Windows 2000 machine (which consists only of
downloading
and running the executable)

And then I have a working SSH implementation.

And with a dynamic DNS service, I'm able easily log into my computer
remotely (don't have to memorize my IP :P).

I've used both PuTTY and TeraTerm's SSH extension and I find PuTTY to a bit
better.  You can save connection settings for each computer you connect to
and it definitely keeps to the KISS (keep it simple, stupid) philosophy 
It even has a command line switch to start with one of the saved setting
configuration, so I've got a shortcut  on my desktop that automatically 
presents a login prompt to my Linux box.
