PuTTy works on GNU/Linux as well (we use it everyday) - there is just no binary builds available directly on the site.This shouldn't be a problem though, since it is likely that you can simply use your package manager to get one.
@yvovandoorn: As much as I like iTerm too, its a terminal, not an SSH client. SSH in OS X is done using OpenSSH.$ ssh -vOpenSSH_4.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7l 28 Sep 2006
I always use PuTTY to access Linux servers from my Windows box but one of the things that annoys me is that it doest support tabs, I don't know if this is doable but it's nice feature.
I used it before I got comfortable with putty. It only does SSH 1 so i had to ditch it as i didn't want to enable that on my servers just for my own terminal access.

@PilgrimYes, I just tried that, it works.

Dugg because I didn't even know putty was in active development.

I personally like iTerm better. Oh wait... that only runs on Mac OS X.

squizz: there are no binaries because putty on a *nix system is next to pointless.
