Update a couple of bits of the FAQ. We do now default to SSH2, and

we do have a Unix port of PuTTY proper.

\S{faq-ssh2}{Question} Does PuTTY support SSH v2?
Yes. SSH v2 support has been available in PuTTY since version 0.50.
However, currently the \e{default} SSH protocol is v1; to select SSH
v2 if your server supports both, go to the SSH panel and change the
\e{Preferred SSH protocol version} option. (The factory default will

Public key authentication (both RSA and DSA) in SSH v2 is new in
version 0.52.

It's currently being worked on. If you look at the nightly source
snapshots, you should find a \c{unix} subdirectory, which should
build you a Unix port of Plink, and also \c{pterm} - an
build you Unix ports of Plink, PuTTY itself, and also \c{pterm} - an
\cw{xterm}-type program which supports the same terminal emulation
as PuTTY.
It isn't yet clear whether we will bother combining the terminal
emulator and network back end into the same process, to provide a
Unix port of the full GUI form of PuTTY. It wouldn't be as useful a
thing on Unix as it would be on Windows; its major value would
probably be as a pathfinding effort for other ports. If anyone
really wants it, we'd be interested to know why :-)

PuTTYgen.
