Brown University NetSpace Project

NetSpace is a student run organization providing Unix accounts and access to Information technology to the Brown Community. We receive no direct funding from Brown University; donations by our users and by outside supporters, as well as fees paid by the projects and people that you see here, constitute the sole sources of our income.

Special Thanks

There are a large number of people who helped get NetSpace off the ground, and it would be impossible to thank them all. However, there are a number of groups helped us with the purchase of our server, and a number of individuals within and outside Brown University to whom we owe a great deal of thanks. Please forgive me if I've forgotten anyone. -- Lee Silverman, NetSpace President and Founder.
