## Two phrases we use a lot

* DON'T HACK THE GIBSON
* No drama. Be respectful. Have fun. We're all trying, and we're all in this together :)

## Details

First things first, explore and have fun! But remember, this is a single linux server trying to support the weight of several hundred nerds. Don't host servers, don't run heavy processes, don't host giant files. In short, be gentle.

Now let's talk about drama. There is a Mary J. Blige song called "No More Drama." If Mary J. Blige would think it was drama, it is drama. No flamewars about emacs/vi, no matter how historically accurate they may be. No guilting people, shaming them, or making them feel bad. More benefit of the doubt and less "are you kidding me?"
