A lot of the work I do involves ssh'ing to a remote web server, running software on that remote command shell, and testing things using a web browser.

A lot of old documentation implies that I should be able to do Ctrl + Alt + T to start the crosh shell (which still works), then type "ssh", but that doesn't work for me -- I get a "ERROR: unknown command: ssh" error.

Some more recent web pages suggest installing the Secure Shell extension from Google Secure Shell Developers, which I have done. Then they suggest downloading a private key from some other computer -- but IT security people seem to recommend generating a private key (if I don't already have one) on the local laptop, and never copying the private key to any other machine, only sharing the public key.
