| FAQ Article: What is a shell account? |
Taken from Happy Hackers GTMHH beginners series #1
"A shell account allows you to use your home computer as a terminal on which you can give commands to a computer running Unix. The "shell" is the program that translates your keystrokes into Unix commands. With the right shell account you can enjoy the use of a far more powerful workstation than you could ever dream of affording to own yourself. It also is a great stepping stone to the day when you will be running some form of Unix on your home computer."
You can get a free shell account from http://www.freeshell.org/.
