Sounds like the OP is confusing a Konqueror (or Nautilus) feature with
the Bash shell itself. Chances are that any Linux box you sit at will
have a Bash shell available (F4 in Konqueror will bring one up in the
current directory or type ALT F2 "konsole") and you can just use common
commands like ssh.

Heck, it even works with current Macs since they are mostly unix underneath.
