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. > Also win95/98/ME drivers for your digital camera is a good idea too. 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.
