Tardis is a limited-access UNIX service hosted by the University of Edinburgh. The Tardis project began in August 1988, and ran a public service until August 1991 based on old GEC hardware discarded by the university. Since late 1993, we have had a new service running on an assortment of new bits of discarded kit.
We had a major hardware failure some time ago from which we have only recently recovered. One of the components which was lost was the WWW document tree. This is currently under reconstruction; in the meantime, please bear with us.
Tardis is a resource available to those affiliated with Edinburgh University. The Tardis Charter sets out the basis on which we operate this service. Click here to find out about getting an account. Tardis is jointly administered by a distributed group known as the timelords.
