wondering today about how people are intended to learn how to use openssh (as a user, not as an administrator)
https://www.openssh.org/ has the reference documentation, but I feel like there must be another document somewhere that's intended for use by beginners that I'm not finding
i don't really know how various BSD projects think about documentation
