in most *nix'es, "~" refers to the current user's home directory, "~joe" refers to a user name "joe"'s home directory normally ~/.<something> refers to a user configuration directory (for instance, if you use pidgin, you have a ~/.purple directory where the settings for that application are kept so in this case ~/.ssh refers to the settings directory for your ssh client, and ~/.ssh/config refers to the config file therein if you're curious to find out where that is located, use "cd ~" if you don't have your prompt set to show you the directory you're in, you can use "pwd" to see on a related note, since we're probably going to have a lot of people coming in to this that are new to linux, does anyone know where there's a nice intro to shell commands tutorial we can reference? -- Jeff O|||||||O
