Definitely.  I've just got back from a trip to Canada and Alaska where
I used putty at every internet cafe I used, except the one in Vancouver
running Linux :-)  Each time I simply downloaded it from my web server.

I used a USB compact flash reader most places and never needed to
install drivers.  There were a couple that wouldn't let me plug
anything into the PCs, but most were OK about it, especially those in
the more popular tourist destinations.  The one running Linux even gave
me a root shell (unsupervised :-) so I could configure it - he'd never
used USB on Linux and didn't know how to set it up.

Most public libraries in Canada provide free internet access.  None let
me plug in my USB reader or digital camera, but I had no problems
downloading and running putty.


Cheers,

John
