Welcome to the Next World Wide Web Server! Next (next.gen.oh.us) is a small group of computers running UNIX-like operating systems, including this Debian GNU/Linux computer which is primarily used for software development, research, service hosting (including these web pages), along with various general daily computing needs for its users.

The shell computer previously ran FreeBSD, but it was replaced with GNU/Linux as a part of an effort to have next's machines all run the same distribution of the GNU operating system.

If you are looking for something else called or containing "Next" or "Next Gen", you will need to look elsewhere. For example: we are not a healthcare or education company, and we do nothing with Medicaid or Medicare in any states.

What's new on Next

May 8, 2025: Congratulations to Pope Leo XIV! Oremus pro pontifice nostro Leone XIV!
May 7, 2025: The experiment of /home/username/ as a tilde-less replacement to /~username/ has been rolled back to using the userdirs. There is, in fact, absolutely nothing wrong with having a ~ symbol in your URIs. Only users with a web site on here before May 7th are affected. Sadly, that was only one person.
May 6, 2025: The primary Next server has received some upgrades to its operating system and storage array. User data has been migrated to the new system as well. If anything is missing or broken, please notify the administrator via your @next.gen.oh.us e-mail address.
May 1, 2025: Added information about e-mailing and git repositories.
April 30, 2025: The original page layout for Next is back. The attempted replacement felt too devoid of information or anything else useful.
March 4, 2025: Next's new home page is now live.
