How do I save my previous ssh sessions
I currently have to SSH into many different systems. Is there a way to for me to save the hostname / IP of the host so that I do not have to constantly type in the hostname / IP address every time I want to start a new SSH session? Basically I would like to replicate Putty's save sessions ability on Ubuntu 12.04.4.
Kind Regards,

You can use the ~/.ssh/config
file for this.
I'll give you an example:
HOST <yourHost>
HostName <IP or DNS of the Host>
Port <port (just needed if other then the standard (22))>
User <username to connect>
IdentityFile <path to an private keyfile (optional) - you can use ~, also>
If you have more than one host just repeat this sections for every host...
to use it just type ssh <yourHost>
.
Hope this helps!
