[Discuss] fedora /Linux installation confusion

[Jeremy Kiffiak]

Jonathan,

First let me say I agree with Lloyd that opening up your system to a  
stranger is a major security concern.

Having said that, if you are still interested in installing an SSH  
server on your system you can do the following from the command line:

"yum install openssh-server"
