We are now affilated with Shellsnet! http://www.shellsnet.org/ 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 interests as yours.

== Server problems! ==
I'm experiencing some problems with the server. It started out with some minor glitch with version incompatabilities between different versions of glibc, and has now escalated and made the whole system unable to start any programs at all, you can not even log in to the system.
Blinkenshell is a mature shell provider, the service has been online for over two years and there are more than 300 user accounts registered. We're still accepting new members of course, if you're interested in signing up for an account take a look at the [[Info/Signup|Signup Info]].
Line 18: Line 20:
Since the system is so badly broken, I decided to replace the whole vserver guest system (like a big chroot) with a new one. All users files are however safe and will be waiting for their users on the new guest system. 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!
Line 20: Line 22:
I don't have any ETA for when everything will be up and running as usual, but I'm working on fixing the system right now. I'm also taking this opportunity to make some upgrades of lowlevel software and file system changes that I've been waiting to make. If you have any questions or just want to talk to us, come on in and [[Info/IRC|join our chat room]]! (IRC: #blinkenshell @ irc.allshells.net)

I've been working hard all night and I'm happy to say that everything seems to be working again. However, all passwords are reset.
