[LUG] PuTTY

[Alex Charrett <Alex.Charrett at sis.securicor.co.uk>]

Not *strictly* a Linux thing but I would imagine it's useful to many of the
people none the less.

There's a new version of PuTTY out (0.50).  It seems to be quite a major
update.

For the un-initiated of you, PuTTY is the best ever (imho) telnet & ssh
terminal emulator for windows.

And its British.

And its groovy.

And they've even done a version of scp for windows.

I've just been reading the site and found this at the bottom of the FAQ:

Question: How do I pronounce PuTTY? 
Answer: Just like "putty". Exactly like the stuff you put on window frames.
It's called PuTTY partly because it makes Windows usable :-) 

Quality.

Alex.
