Open Source SSH Connection Manager

Since the time i started to work on Ubuntu ( feels good that i left windows) i was searching for an application which works likes ( at least in close proximity) Putty connection manager. After a lot of search i came across an application called Gnome Connection Manager. It is a tabbed ssh connection manager for GTK+ environments. It has many features close to that of Putty connection manager.

This application can be downloaded from http://www.kuthulu.com/gcm/
