|
|
|
a tilde character "~" followed by the username represents the user's "home" in
|
|
|
|
|
linux. `~spider` would link to spider's home directory.

|
|
|
in other words, it's a collection of public access unix systems (or *pubnixes*)
|
|
|
|
|
that have been grouped together to create a bigger community, and they share
|
|
|
|
|
services between each other.
