Debian, Putty and home and end keys

Hi, I've been a long while trying to figure this out and I thought that 
this might be of use to others.

If you want to connect to a debian box from Putty you may notice that 
the home and end keys don't work, and just write "~" to the terminal. In 
order to get them working you must set the terminal-type string (under 
connection, in the configuration) to be "linux" instead of the default 
"xterm".
