Is it just my impression or each day, there are more and more articles about what Linux can do and Windows cannot? Kinda like the stupid Apple/Microsoft flame wars? Each OS is different, suited to an user, its like telling someone that doesnt like cheese to eat it! Let them taste, if they dont like, fine! Some may want to taste it again 
Anyway, I have this little applet running on my desktop for a long time, and today a friend asked what it was (quick shh access to any pc! yey!!):
http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/
