What's the difference between DSA and RSA encryption for ssh? In
practice, is there any difference?

I've found http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2002-11/msg00297.html,
which recommends RSA, and I've found
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2002-11/msg00269.html, which
recommends DSA. Both in response to some poor soul who asked the same
question as me.

RSA? DSA? Flip a coin?
