>Can you seriously compare PuTTY with even the most lacklustre terminal available on OS X or Linux? Yes, I can compare. PuTTY is superior than the default xubuntu terminal, whatever it is. 1. I can configure it to connect to specific server automatically, including setting up all required SSH tunnels. On Linux I have to write shell scripts. 2. It allows to automatically set up a SOCKS proxy that sends my traffic through the remote server. 3. Selecting text copies it straight to clipboard. Copying to middle-click buffer is much less convenient, because I often want to replace other selected text with what I selected in terminal.
