Remmina is in the repositories and is essentially the same tool.

Reminna
http://www.remmina.org/

Remmina is a remote desktop client written in GTK+, aiming to be useful for system administrators and travellers, who need to work with lots of remote computers in front of either large monitors or tiny netbooks. Remmina supports multiple network protocols in an integrated and consistent user interface. Currently RDP, VNC, NX, XDMCP and SSH are supported.

Remmina is free and open-source software, released under GNU GPL license.

Not sure why this would be included unless you could point out some different functionality?

There are a couple of pretty major differences. First being folders. Remmina doesn't allow you organize connections into folders. I have over 100 connections (and growing) of all different types, and folders help greatly for organization and to prevent accidental logins to the wrong box. Second is maximized window functionality. When you make a connection with Remmina, it opens up a new window, which contains tabs for each connection. If you maximize that window, you lose the connection list. With Pac, if you maximize the main window, you keep the whole app in focus, which is insanely more productive.

To me, Remmina is a "quick connect" type of app, and Pac is more of a "library" of connections -- if that makes sense. I'll keep messing around with Remmina, but these are two huge differences for my use case.

Also very interested in this, and is kind of an essential given that there isn't any other SSH terminal connection managers available at present. Remmina, teamviewer etc are focused on remote desktop, while PAC is a server management tool and really makes managing clusters of servers an easy task.

Its very surprising that at the minimum Putty isn't available via the repo's, but PAC makes more sense to add first as its better than putty in every way.

I was able to download the binary tar package and get it working on Solus. I am looking through all my steps and putting together some notes if I have a need to do it again. I can either post those notes here or submit them to whom ever does package building?

Thanks

Edit: I double checked these steps in a VM and the directions have been placed in order that worked for me the second go around. If I knew how to build a package, I would do this for everyone. Maybe if I have some time later today I will poke around documentation, attempt to build a package and submit it.
