I do have it - just have to decide which one - For now I'm limited to
password auth. I did the keygen on the box, carred what I assumed was
the private key to the laptop, converted it with PuttyGen - and the
server didn't like it. So there's still a stop I'm missing.

I am beginning to understand why the Linux community has such a rep for
not being tolerant of new people. (a) it's a lot of work to figure this
stuff out for yourself and (b) everybody's system can be different.

I hope the group doesn't get too impatient with me as I try to get
moving.
