I'm confused. why do you need a ssh client in linux?

Open a shell, (konsole or xterm) and type ssh. What would you need a client?

kssh is a graphical frontend to the command line ssh client. It has a few advantages, IMHO. In kssh case: - It stores all hosts connect to, so it can act a "connect to" database. - It also stores almost all information used by ssh client to connect to the remote host, like Enable X11, Tunnel configuration, Compression, Auth agent forward, etc, etc, etc... It will save you a lot of writing...

Kssh is not a stand-alone ssh client, it integrates with Konsole to make it easier to create ssh sessions / tabs and to do so as the top-level shell. It also remembers all the configurations you've used to connect remotely including all ssh options used to further simplify connection establishment. It has a simple connection establishment dialog that appears when you select "Secure Shell" from the Konsole new-tab menu. For 11.0, packages are in "KDE:Community/openSUSE_11.0".
