The Fysh Server Called Bowl
bowl.fysh.org is currently a dedicated machine rented from and hosted by [UK2]. This is paid for via subscriptions charged to the principal users of the machine. Any queries about payments, or obtaining an account, should be directed to Mike Ashton.
The machine generally runs the current Stable version of the [Debian] distribution of [Linux]. The majority of the software installed on it is that which is directly supported by Debian, as this makes day-to-day administration and keeping things up to date very easy. We will, however, install software by hand if sufficient need is demonstrated. Our aim is to offer a stable service first and foremost, so don't necessarily expect cutting-edge versions of software.
bowl.fysh.org hosts a wide range of services, ranging from email and web pages, through hosting of domains to the more esoteric such as [TeamSpeak] servers.
If you have a problem with, or a query about, any of the services on bowl.fysh.org, or would like to request an additional service, please send email to [The Fyshy Admin].

History
bowl.fysh.org is not the first 'main server' for fysh.org as it was the replacement for crucigera.fysh.org which in various forms shouldered the load from fysh.org's inception until June 2001.
Initially fysh.org was intended to primarily be for the benefit of certain graduates from [The University of Warwick]'s [Department of Computer Science] who were just some of the self-proclaimed Fysh. Indeed it was initally hosted, as the server crucigera.fysh.org, in the office of a friendly member of Warwick DCS staff.
