Telnet to Internet ?

I am still waiting for IT Ops to respond to my problem of not being able to compile any simple program on the linux server. Meanwhile I thought that is there a big server on internet where I can login and run my QT applications ! So again I googled it and I got a link about this.

But the servers mentioned there were too out of date. So I again used google to find out Free Linux Shell Account.

Lets see if something works out here! But list here seems to be quite latest. I tried the a/c available with http://www.freeshell.org. It is pretty simple you just type the command telnet tty.freeshell.org on your command prompt. If you are a new user type in "new" post some text screens which you should read you would be able to create your linux a/c. So even if you are using Windows, dont have Linux installed but want to learn some basic Unix this is great!

But you can not use all the commands on this server unless you give around 5 USD to them. Also you can not do stuff like exporting display on the server to your local machine and then launching some graphics application like Netscape navigator or any thing. That means I can not run my QT applications there, even if I am able to somehow put my QT there. Too bad! So let me stop this thread, but I learnt some thing new today ... and served the basic purpose of this blog.

Next three days we have a big week end so may be I would not be learning anything new on next three days :)
