<br />
= Non-services =<br />
<br />
TuxFamily is a hoster, not a forge. Therefore, TuxFamily does not provide some services, such as a preformatted website, a bugtracker instance (you have to install and manage your own one on a web area) or other nifty social thingies (e.g. kudos).<br />
Also, dynamic pages on web areas may be generated by almost any stateless CGI-compatible technology; "stateless" means "generated without having to keep a process or daemon alive between two dynamic requests". Thus, most application servers (Tomcat, GlassFish, Jetty, Mongrel, Zope, ...) are not welcome at TuxFamily.<br />
You may want to consider other free services to host your project, such as [https://notabug.org NotABug], [http://savannah.nongnu.org Savannah], or [http://gna.org GNA].<br />
<br />
= Reminder for your connection parameters =<br />
<br />

* Jabber service: jabber.tuxfamily.org '''your_login@jabber.tuxfamily.org / your_password'''<br />
* Manage your files: if you have a project group, inform contributors they shall connect to SFTP/SSH/FTP using their own login.<br />
** SFTP service: sftp.tuxfamily.net '''your_login / your_password'''<br />
** SSH service: ssh.tuxfamily.net '''your_login / your_password'''<br />

** Direct access (e.g. from your web area or your SSH shell): '''database_login / database_password'''; notes:<br />

*** Yes, the server name for both MySQL and PostgreSQL is simply "'''sql'''", with no extension.<br />
*** Yes, it works as is.<br />
*** No, we do not have a lot of imagination.<br />
*** No, we will not change anything anywhere to make "localhost" act the same way.<br />
