Long time user of Putty, like many here. I liked this quote from their FAQ (A.3.3 What's the point of the Unix port? Unix has OpenSSH):
"There were development advantages as well; porting PuTTY to Unix was a valuable path-finding effort for other future ports, and also allowed us to use the excellent Linux tool Valgrind to help with debugging, which has already improved PuTTY's stability on all platforms."
- bch 10y agoThis sort of development is often illuminating. I develop on *BSD, Linux, Solaris (SPARC), and MacOS X when I can, and even though they're "all UNIX", interesting insights abound, and dealing w different endianess (SPARC == big, Intel == small), and library differences, etc is rarely more trouble than it's worth.
