And what's the deal with PuTTY private keys? Does putty do something
non-standard? You can always just generate new keys and copy those to
wherever you want. There is no restriction on the number of keys.

man ssh-keygen
man ssh-copy-id

  $ ssh-keygen && ssh-copy-id $host

All done in 30 seconds or so.

That way you should be able to use any Linux based client you want and you
are not stuck with one, non-standard one (or maybe PuTTY works as a std
client too?).
