bsd.computer public access unix

bsd.computer offers free to use UNIX shell accounts accessible over SSH. The system runs on OpenBSD, an open source 4.4BSD-based UNIX-like operating system.

Users can be e-mailed with the address user@cro.wtf.

Doing any of the following on the server may lead to a permanent ban:

resource limits

No hard limits are set, but try not to run anything that will disrupt the system, as all resources are shared. Try to keep your home directory under a few gigabytes and don't open too many processes.

sign up

There is no registration form at the moment, and services are a little experimental. You can send an email with your wanted username and a public ssh key to request an account.
