- Yes you are allowed to run a wide variety of software, if you have doubts about a specific software package please ask us about it on irc.
- We ask you to download all sources at the _official_ websites to avoid any backdoored source. If your processes are backdoored your account can be suspended without notice.

- Ports 5000-5500 are forwarded to the shell server. You can use the 'port' command to see what ports are available to you.
- For more information on ports, go here shells_ports

- Usually it will not be a problem to install packages that are available in the debian stable repository.
- Drop by on IRC if you have a request.
- My account has been suspended, what did I do and can it be undone?
- Feel free to drop by on irc to explain the situation. Please do keep it civil.
- If a misunderstanding lead to your suspension the staff may re-evaluate it.
