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!
