docs: rm ssh-login page. started create-ssh-key.page. edited pub-private and connect-other-comp.
- The ssh-login.page would have been the same as the instructions for connecting to another computer
- The create-ssh-key.page was just a stub. It's still incomplete, but most of it is fleshed-out.
- I made some style corrections to the what-diff-private-public.page file
- Started work on the connect-other-computers file.

+ <p>An SSH key will help you to create a secure connection between computers.
+ Creating an SSH key creates both a <em>Public</em> and a <em>Private</em>
+ key. Here is how to create a new key:</p>
+
+ <steps>
+ <item><p>Click <guiseq><gui>File</gui><gui>New</gui></guiseq>.</p></item>
+ <item><p>Select <gui>Secure Shell Key</gui> and then click
+ <gui>Continue</gui>.</p></item>
+ <item><p>Enter a description for the key. The key description will help
+ you to identify the key later. For example, you could enter today's date,
+ something about how the key will be used, or the server name on which you
+ intend to install the key. The description field is optional, and how you
+ describe the key is entirely up to you.</p></item>
+ <item><p>You can change default settings for encryption type or key
+ strength by expanding the Advanced key options panel.</p></item>
+ </steps>
+
+ <p>At this point, you can either just create your key, or create your key
+ and set it up on a remote server.</p>

<em>Private Key</em> as being like a key that unlocks the padlock.</p>
<p>Let's use an example to see how this works. Imagine that you want your

of your friends a box and a padlock, but only you would have the key that
unlocks the padlocks.</p>
<p>Each friend could place their message into their box, and lock the box.

<p>This is similar to how a <em>Public Key</em> and a <em>Private Key</em>

decrypt, or unlock, the secure messages that you receive.</p>
