ssh is a handy utility that allows us to login to another computer through
an authenticated and encrypted connection.  It also lets us forward ports
through this layer and run X-windows applications from anywhere just the 
same.  The ssh package also includes nifty utilities, such as sftp, which 
is a nice ftp package to make sure your files absolutely, positively get 
there without terrorists intercepting it.  Good stuff if you life depends 
on it.

PuTTY is the ssh client that runs on Windows platforms.  To me, that means 
I can login to my linux box with any Windows box in the world with some 
sense of security.
