1. Make sure ssh daemon is running on unix server
  2. Use putty or some other terminal emulator.
  3. Tell it where the machine is (ip or hostname), and log in to a shell.
  4. Edit files.Use vi, emacs, etc.

This is what I used to do before I stopped using windows completely. I had the option to dual boot- but instead.. I bit the bullet. I switched over completely. It took me a year to be really 100% comfortable- but only 3 months to officially never work on a windows box- ever again.

This is like going to rehab. It hurts- but your life will never be the same again.
