- What Is A Shell?
- A shell is a command line interpreter for an operating system. It is
like the DOS command prompt in Windows on steroids. On our Linux systems,
there are a variety of shells available with different capabilities and
syntax available to you.
- Graphical Applications
- Our service supports graphical user environments. You can use
graphical applications here if you have X-windows and hi-speed Internet
connection such as DSL, Cable, Satelite, WiMax, or 4G cell; and have them
display on your computer by using ssh -X to forward X-windows applications
to your display. You can access your choice of KDE or Gnome desktops via
nx (secure) vnc or spice protocol (less secure).
- What Is A Shell Account?
- A shell account provides you with command line and graphical access to
our Linux shell servers. You will be assigned your own home directory
that provides storage space for files and configuration information and an
e-mail box. We provide tools and information resources to assist you in
developing web sites and software applications.
Eskimo North shell accounts include web and software development tools,
scripting lanaguages, compiled languages, editing facilities, and many
specialized tools. Also available are mysql and postgres databases. Web
hosting under our domain is included with our shell accounts. Additional
hosting services are available to host your domain.
- Linux
- Unix was created in 1970. It has evolved into the most powerful and
heavily used operating systems in existence. Linux was created in 1991 by
Linus Torvalds. Linus made his operating system open sourced and
encouraged the participation of anyone on the Internet. The result has
been the creation of the worlds most efficient, flexible, scalable
operating system that has ever existed. Apply for a free trial
