From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I know I can ssh directly into my servers in the terminal, but it’s a pain to manage that when I have several machines with different credentials and memorizing up addresses. Is there an easier way to do it via the terminal, or is there another software like putty on windows that could manage all of my connections for me?

Personally, I use dedicated tmux sessions predefined with various SSH commands.

But in general, if you're not using ~/.ssh/config then you're making your life more difficult.

If you wanted something a little more graphical, I have coworkers that use various configurations of Dmenu. They press a hot key and the menu displays a list of all SSH profiles in your config. They can pick one, press enter, and a terminal opens with the connection already in the process of being established.
