Just a quick mention that setting up a config file means all sorts of
things get automated too -
i.e. you can use many different text editors like vi to edit 'on the
remote machine'
scp 'just works'
tab-completion starts including user and host name combos
Really slick - and it all works seamlessly because they all use that
config file.
Much nicer than putty once you get on to it  (and I do use putty on MS
products....)
No point running linux unless you take advantage of linux tools :-)
