quickly: two ways:

- key without passphrase (poor security):

ssh-keygen -t dsa (or rsa), valid...
put the content of ./ssh/id_dsa.pub (or id_rsa.pub) on the remote computer 
into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

- with a passphrase:

when you ran ssh-keygen you type a non empty passphrase to protect you key:

# eval `ssh-agent`
# ssh-add
you're done. ssh-agent will remain your key for you unlock.

Notice on all good linux distribution, ssh-agent is started automatically on 
login if a key is found into your ~/.ssh, it is the case on my mandriva 
(mandrake), I know gentoo does, and surelly debian. so at login you just have 
to run ssh-add.

Enjoy.
