Hmmm, check out www.linuxworld.com and the announcement of TL 3.6.0.

Here is the URL:

To summarize, with 2 Million units shipped, TurboLinux has got to be
considered a major distribution ...

Oh, what does this have to do with what Toby said?  Well, plans were for
ssh to be included on the CD.  Since they nominally build in Japan they are
supposed to be able to include ssh.  

This was certainly the case with TL 3.4.0, but I have not yet seen 3.6.0.
