Hi, Rodolfo,

My plate is so full trying to learn how to set up this Linux box, that I
didn't ask why.  I just figured, I've got to learn X windows along with
everything else and learning ssh is adding one more thing.  But, if you have
any suggestions on where I might go to learn about ssh, I would appreciate
it.  If you could include an explanation of the mechanics of it as well,
that would be great.

Jerry
