+1 The ssh config file is immensely useful

I replicate my ssh config file across a few different machines. Using the
nickname feature (plus IdentityFile for key-based logins) I simply:
  ssh it     (connect to IT operations host)
  ssh ws01  (connect to Web Server 1)
  ssh ws02
  ssh dev

etc.

Typing *ssh it* in response to the latest IT Ops "tragedy" is even mildly
cathartic in Freudian and Aristotlean terms [1], not to be confused with
the noun form of cathartic [2] unless you enjoy the irony.
