SSH secure shell links videos and resources

I had a nice article but somehow it got screwed to hell and back. I have no idea what I did. I will not rewrite it. This is now purely a list of resources. I really hate tinymce for this. You can’t just past text from the internet because it auto adds H4’s for some no brain reason. So you have to switch to text view to paste text, then you can switch back and add the link. So helpful.
