 =================================================================

Public Access UNIX Systems (PAUS) are a type of server that provide

various services to a multi-user community.  They first began in the

early 1980's and continue today. Early servers ran various flavors of

UNIX, hence the name Public Access "UNIX" Systems, but later generations

saw a large mix of Unix-variants and, of course, GNU/Linux.  To

recognize the many different operating systems online today, these

systems are increasingly referred to generically as "pubnixes".

One of the enduring characteristics of pubnixes, beyond the simple

access to computational services, is the community that develops among

each system's users.  These communities tend to have a particular flavor

of shared interests, and in many ways it is within these communities

that the vision of a non-corporate Internet remains alive.

The Pubnix History Project is a compilation of writings and resources

about the history of public access UNIX and GNU/Linux systems

(pubnixes).  Its goals are to document the history of these systems and

their communities, and to encourage ongoing participation by new

generations of users and sysadmins.
