Enabling SSH on Ubuntu Linux 9.04 (Jaunty)

I just finished installing Ubuntu Linux 9.04 (Jaunty) on one of my PCs, and wanted to connect through SSH from another Windows XP PC. I haven't worked with SSH in a long time since my last server, so I forgot that the Live CD Ubuntu installation doesn't have SSH enabled by default. But to my surprise, I just went to the Synaptic Package Manager, typed SSH in the Quick Search box and selected the ssh metapackage (it installs the OpenSSH client and server). I marked this package for installation and then clicked on Apply. After a few seconds, the OpenSSH package was installed! Then I went to the Windows XP PC and tested the connection:

Voila! Another good reason to use Ubuntu!

So, if you run into the same problem when installing VirtualBox 3, remember to change your network adapter type first and try again. If the problem persists, send me an email or ask for help on the http://www.virtualbox.org...
