@TuxGnome On windows, the program putty allows for client side operations with ssh including graphics forwarding.  It is also possible to install ssh server programs on a windows machine. But i do have to say, Linux does provide the best experience with ssh.

I posted this to one of Mitch's vids as well, but Shawn...In addition to online resources, what two books would you recommend to someone who has a working knowledge of LInux, but what to delve more into the command line side of it. I'm pretty much a DOS guru do the command line format is nothing new to me. I realize the commands and switches are different. What would be the LInux "Bible" for DOS users to convert to Linux Command Line use? Suggestions?

Knew this one. Comes in handy often. But I hardly ever use GUI stuff from remote servers cos it's so slow.

That is great! but :(, i had ssh for a bit, i rebooted my computer days later and found my pw was changed. In auth.log i found 1000s of different attempts to log in. one of them got through, and... 1. changed my pw 2. downloaded a 125mb file 3. deleted that file 3. examined my system 4. removed lines from my bash.log 5+ and goodness knows what else! Be warned have a safe password, and even try a safe name too because most of the attempts used familiar names.
