I have a fairly newly acquired Kindle 3-G which is running version 3.3 of the software.

How easy will it be to install an ssh *client* on the Kindle so I can access ssh servers (on my home machine and elsewhere)?

I've read around here a bit but most of the ssh references seem to be to installing an ssh server (as in sshd) on the kindle. I assume I'd need to jailbreak my Kindle which seems fairly straightforward but then is there a reasonably easy to obtain ssh to put on it?
