I have never used PuTTY on linux. The usual way to connect to an SSH server under linux is to use the OpenSSH client. Just open a terminal emulator (Konsole, gnome-terminal, xterm, rxvt...) and do 'ssh host' (replace host with the host you want to connect to :)). ssh will ask you the usual questions about host keys, cache them and so on.
