[Cialug] Free Linux Account Somewhere?

[Todd Pierce]

Matt,

Ah... "free shell account".... now why didn't I think of googling that?
You're better than the huslters I run into on the streets!

As far as the credit card goes, yeah, as soon as I get a commission where
I'm working (which could be weeks) they'll pay me w/ a card.

In the meantime... I've GOT to research all of these free shell accounts
offered... very interesting indeed....
