putty equivalent in Linux ?
 

When in Windows, I use putty to log onto a remote Linux machine.
Now that I can dual boot my personal machine into Linux as well, how can I log into that remote linux machine from my personal linux machine.
In putty, the options selected are 'port 22, SSH'.

From a terminal... "ssh hostname" or "ssh ip-address"

Since you're already familiar with Putty, you could install the Linux version of Putty:

Fedora Core 8 version: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i386.rpm.html

Putty is also in the standard F8 repo.

Thanks for the info. I haven't used Fedora in a couple years.

The problem with ssh is that it asks for root password. In putty I get to enter a username.

First, don't run as root, and then it won't assume you're trying to log in to the remote server as root.

Second, us the -l (that's a lowercase L) flag to specify user name: This information is in the man page for ssh:

Or
ssh username@host

but not working as root on a regular basis is a good start.
