I If you want a reliable shell for personal use check out http://lowendbox.com - there is a whole market for *nix VPS's for as little as $10-$20/year.

Just out of curiosity, what would you use a shell account like that for? Do you do active development on it, or is it just a place to keep a screen session with an irc client running?

I've had an account on SDF for years, even paid for the lifetime membership, I don't use it too much but it is useful from time to time and it works great.

Another longtime SDF user, sadly I haven't logged in in a while. It was my first contact with the BSDs and the korn shell.
