= Blinkenshell - Free UNIX Shell Accounts! =
Hi there, and welcome to Blinkenshell.org! This is a '''free UNIX shell provider'''. Here you can get your own personal [:Shell Account:shell account] on a Linux Server for free! The only requirements is that you actively participate in our community and follow the rules and guidelines.
Line 4: Line 7:
The service is intended to create a community with users who are curious and likes to learn new stuff about computers in general. This is a great place to be if you are looking for somewhere to learn about UNIX, learn about programming/scripting or if you just want to use IRC. Blinkenshell is intended to be a community with helpful and friendly users who are curious to learn more about interresting stuff (often related to computers.) You can read more about Blinkenshell here: [:Info/About: About Blinkenshell].

The server is located in my basement and is not intended for any commercial use. It doesn't cost anything to use and does not provide any guaranteed uptime, availability, quality of service or any warranty. This is a great place to be if you are looking for somewhere to learn more about ["UNIX"], networking, programming or meet other people with similar interrests as yours. For some common usage scenarios of a shell account, take a look here: ["UsageScenarios"].

Blinkenshell is a fairly mature shell provider, the service has been online for over a year now, we've passed 100 users accounts some time ago and still growing fast. We're still accepting new members ofcourse, if you're interrested in signing up for an account take a look at the [:Info/Signup:Signup Info].

Keep in mind that the server is located in my basement and is not intended for any commercial use. It doesn't cost anything to use and does not provide any guaranteed uptime, availability, quality of service or any warranty. This is a hobby project!
