I'm fairly new to the Linux world. I dable here and there. basically what i want to do is be able to SSH into my Linux box from work.

Can anybody tell me or are there any good tutorials or articles that i can look at to set up and SSH connection ?

Any help would be appreciated

Just install ssh server on your home machine (don't forget to use the latest package for your distribution) and ssh client on your machine at work. If there is a firewall on your home machine, open port 22. If there are firewalls between your office and home, you will have to open them, too.
 
Have you got RH Linux?
If so, run #rpm -qa | grep ssh
you should have 'openserver-ssh-<ver>' in the list.

Then start it:
# service sshd start

For sure you should allow inbound connections on port 22 on the server.
Verify you can make outbound connections on port 22 also from your work.

If at your work, you are using windows then you should look for a third party ssh client

revert back if this doesn't work!
