## About thunix
|
|
|
|
thunix offers Secure Shell (SSH) accounts, Web Hosting, Email Accounts,
|
|
and many other services. But, most of all, we are a community of users.
|
|
It was founded by hexhaxtron in the Summer of 2017, and was continued by
|
|
[amcclure](/~amcclure) and [ubergeek](/~ubergeek) since 2018. We aim to
|
|
provide the best service possible with a wide variety of features, and
|
|
we hope you have fun with it!
|

thunix tries to adhere to the values and philosophy of the Hacker Ethic
|
|
whenever possible. The hacker ethics and beliefs as described by Levy
|
|
are:
|
|
|
|
* Access to computers - and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works - should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!
|
|
* All information should be free
|
|
* Mistrust authority - promote decentralization
|
|
* Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not criteria such as degrees, age, race, sex, or position
|
|
* You can create art and beauty on a computer
|
|
* Computers can change your life for the better
|
|
|
|
thunix will never use proprietary software but users can do that if they
|
|
wish. This is something they should avoid however.
