An SSH client under windows

I use SSH all the time. It's the simplest way to go in and fix something on a Linux server. From time to time, I find myself on a Windows machine, needing to use ssh. The solution: Putty http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe

Put it on a thumb drive, and take wherever you go. Another slick trick, copy it into C:\windows\system32 That way, you can hit 'logo+r' to bring up the run program dialog, and just type 'putty root@192.168.0.1'. It will bring up it's window, ask for a password, and you're set.
