SSH keygen, a must have skill for Linux users

Hopefully, if you've been reading my stream for any length of time, you've been encouraged to learn some command line skills. As you learn the power of the CLI, you'll no doubt eventually end up with more than one Linux or Unix like device on your network (for example a few Raspberry Pi based media centre's). Once that happens, being able to access those systems in s secure yet convenient way becomes a handy tool. That's where SSH keygen comes in. This will allow you to access the devices on your network via the command line without having to type a password every time. You can also adapt this tutorial to add SSH keys to remote SSH apps on other platforms like ConnectBot on Android or PuTTY on Windows.
