ClueNet
is a
non-profit
community who provide free
unix
-based services. ClueNet currently runs
ClueBot
,
Wikipedia
's most active anti-vandalism bot,
[1]
with over 600,000 edits. ClueNet also hosts the
subversion repository
for Wikipedia's
"Request an account" interface
.
[2]

Beginnings
[
edit
]
Chules.net
[3]
and C&H Services,
[4]
two free
shell account
providers, met when they both used the now-
defunct
ShellsNet
as their official
IRC network
. When the administrators of Chules.net and C&H Services became disgruntled with the changes to the environment of ShellsNet, they left but maintained relations. C&H Services joined with EvilHosting's
[5]
IRC network and became EvilShells. When the IRC network fell apart, C&H Services and Chules.net merged and became ClueNet.
Infrastructure
[
edit
]
ClueNet uses
Kerberos
for user-authentication and
LDAP
for user-authorization and user information. This allows a single ClueNet account to work across all of ClueNet's projects.
Clueful Chatting
[
edit
]
ClueNet is an online gathering point for users of
Unix-like
operating systems
to gather with other users of Unix-like operating systems. One of the things unique to this community is that they promote correct
grammar
and
spelling
. One of the prerequisites to getting an account on the ClueNet servers is using correct grammar and spelling. This is called "Clueful Chatting".
[6]
Clueful Chatting is the method of typing in proper English, and not using protocols such as "
leet
" or the practice of adding improper suffixes like "z" or "0rz."
Services
[

]
ClueNet has several free services.
ClueShells, ClueNet's free unix shell service, provides
Linux
shell accounts
to users who apply and are accepted.
[7]
ClueNet's free
email
service, ClueMail, is available to any user in good standing upon request.
[8]
ClueNet also provides
subversion
repositories,
blog
hosting, picture gallery hosting, and access to
a web-based OS
to any user in good standing upon request.
ClueNet also hosts an IRC network for its users.
