I was reasonable sure that I created my keys on BSD and converted the
public key to Putty using an import function.

However, looking at my version pf Putty Key Gen (0.53b) I do the option
to create keys and export them into OpenSSH format.

I guess the correct answer is: Whatever floats your boat. Create the
keys where you want, just make sure you convert the public key to the
format your box needs.

Cheers,
Frank
