Was there a problem installing Putty?

[asendra]

Yes. Putty.

Strange. I never had a problem with it 10 years ago. Perhaps our expectations for a terminal have changed in that time.

Putty works fine. You can even do x11 forwarding or socks proxing. If you have an x11 server running on your machine you can have a linux display.

Putty's been being distributed over unsecured HTTP for years - I wouldn't be surprised if some companies' IT departments forbid it.

The main page [0] and main download [1] are HTTPS. GPG signatures are provided as well.

That probably changed just recently.

Downloading something over HTTPS doesn't magically make it secure.
