Does anyone know of a self-contained installation of SSH or OpenSSH for Linux?

My problem is that I have an out of date Linux (OpenLinux 2.2) and when I try to install these programs I have tons of unsatisfied dependencies. Is there an RPM that is a one-step install?

I know I'm looking for a Windows type install on a Linux box, while I should be learning to do this manually, but I'm a newbie and just need SSH to connect to my school server.

Installing a newer version of Linux w/SSH isn't an option because this computer is an obsolete piece of junk and I'm not going to risk losing this succesfull install.
