[nfbcs] Duel Booting With Jaws

[E.J. Zufelt]

Good afternoon,

I would suggest using OpenSSH for Windows.  It is a commandline ssh client 
that works really well and is very accessible with JAWS.  I have only found 
one task that I cannot complete with OpenSSH, that is installing Postfix 
from the Debian repository, and to be quite honest I haven't tried all that 
hard.

HTH,
Everett
