You've just been given an account on the Space Hippie server. What now?
Logging In
Use SSH to log into the server.
GNU/Linux, MacOS, and other UNIX-like systems
If you're on a UNIX-like system, simply open your terminal emulator and type ssh [user]@spacehippie.ca, and then type your password when prompted.
