Member of Blinkenshell

Congratulations, you are now a member of Blinkenshell! Your account is activated, and you can start using it right away.

If you are new to shell services, you might want to take a look at the [:Howto:Howtos]. There are some articles there about usage of common programs. Also, it might be a good idea to look at the ["FAQ"].

If you have a question about how to use any of the programs or something like that, feel free to ask in the ["Info/IRC"] channel. As a user, you are expected to hang around on IRC from time to time. If there is another user in need of help, or someone trying to sign up, you are very welcome to try and help them also. Since you already have an account, you probably know how the signup process works etc.

If you want +v on IRC, access to member-only pages on the wiki (only one currenly), your own MySQL DB, email account at @blinkenshell.org or something like that, ask ["Independence"].
