Simon,
Basically, you get an account on a server which is permanently
connected to the web. I'd envisage that we could use it for reading
emails (there will be [EMAIL PROTECTED] email addresses) or maybe
running small web servers (nothing too bandwidth hungry or State51
might get upset). If you're stuck behind a firewall that only allows
ssh thru, then you can get to a box that will allow you to do other
stuff (IRC, perhaps).
Basically, we have some very friendly sysadmins and are open to
suggestions to what could be installed to make everyone's lifes
froodier.
Let me know if you need any more info,
Dave...
