Gnome Connection Manager or GCM

Gnome Connection Manager or GCM is a tabbed ssh connection manager for gtk+ environments. Starting with version 1.2.0 it only supports python3 and GTK 3 so it should run fine on any modern desktop environment.

If you can't update to python/gtk 3 and only have python2/gtk2, then keep using GCM version v1.1.0 from kuthulu.com

Installation

From binary package

The easiest way to install GCM is to download the deb or rpm package from releases or from kuthulu.com and install it using the package manager
