Aside from obvious "don't do anything bad" stuff, is there any sort of policy as to what we can do with our account via secure shell? I mostly got it activated for my account so that I can ftp files without having to use the web interface or insecure ftp. But, I would also like to be able to use LaTeX on my site to generate images (I'm a budding mathematician and some times like to write things with mathematical symbols). I don't want to start compiling LaTeX and installing it to ~/bin if such a thing would be frowned upon.

The biggest issue is creating a situation where what you are doing should be done on your *own* system and not on a *shared* system. :eek:

Otherwise, so long as what you do doesn't seriously impact system performance I don't see that BH would mind too much.

I really don't want to setup a build system to target the Bluehost machine. Plus, installing into my home directory wouldn't affect anyone else (except for build time).
