Anyone* who enjoys writing is welcome to join Cosmic.Voyage. To do

so you will need to choose a username for the system, and create

an SSH pubkey to log in. This is a public access unix system, so

you will be working in a command-line shell environment to

interact with the system. Getting started instructions:

(Detailed instructions available at https://tilde.wiki/wiki/Ssh)

For Linux Users:

• open a terminal

• generate a key using ssh-keygen (just accept all the defaults)

• your secret key is the file ~/.ssh/id_rsa (don't share this!)

• your public key is the file ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

• send the id_rsa.pub file to james [at] tomasino.org along

with your desired username and a brief note about why you want

to join the community.

user name, e.g. ssh asimov@cosmic.voyage

For Mac Users:

(don't share this!)

Once you log in to the system for the first time, you will have a

welcome email waiting for you. You can read this message by

running the 'alpine' or 'mutt' commands to open the respective

mail program. Alpine is easier for those unfamiliar with the

command line. Your welcome email will explain how to get started

on the system and where to look for help.
