putty (was Re: vpn)

[Mike Bydalek]

You don't need putty on a linux box as OpenSSH is installed.  Depending 
on your distro, the server may not be running or not even installed.  
For example, if you're running Ubuntu or Debian, you'll need to ensure 
that openssh-server is installed (apt-get install openssh-server) since 
I *think* that the desktop doesn't install it by default ...

Once that's done, all you need to do is put 192.168.1.# in putty and 
away you go.
