+# Welcome to SCCS SSH!
+
+The Swarthmore College Computer Society welcomes you to our public SSH server.
+Here, you can find free hosting utilities, tons of processing power and storage,
+and more!
+
+## Tips and Tricks
+
+- web-docs: This folder in your home directory is a symlink that allows you to
+host any static site you'd like. Your site will appear at
+https://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/<class>/<username>
+
+- web-dynamic: This new addition is another symlink that drops a service onto our
+Dockerized Web server, `gull`. With the proper setup, you can host a dynamic site
+to any personal domain of your choice. For more info, contact us at
+staff@sccs.swarthmore.edu.
+
+- Requesting packages: Email us with package requests--this VM runs Fedora Server,
+so please find the Fedora package name.
+
+- Running in the background: Use a terminal multiplexor like `screen` or `tmux` to
+run long, resource-intensive tasks without having to keep your terminal open.
+
+Enjoy!
+SCCS Staff
