Can somebody advise any free Linux sever for shell programming?

Hi, everybody.
I just wonder whether there are a couple of free Linux servers running as terminals where people can practice Unix Shell Programming?
I'd like to set up one myself but unfortunatly can't do it. I can't switch to Linux now coz I run a couple of servers on my machine.

Cygwin is actually of no use coz the scripts i make wont run on it though they work on real UNIX machines.

Any suggestions would be really nice. (our school intranet is build around Linux but there's no access to it from WAN :-( .

Thanks.

Here is a list I found through google.

That's a pretty impressive list of hosts but at least the half of it doesn't exist anymore. Then you got some hosts (that probably really work) with pretty strange rules of getting an account (like please guess our secret number ,what takes about a week or so). So up till now i found no easy way to find anything worth. I sent a couple of e-mails but no reaplies yet coz they have no automated system.

So in general i have an impression like "Welcome to Unix" :-(
I'll post the link to a working server if i find any. It seems to me like i'm gonna spent some time on it (i hope i will not end by reinstalling Mandrake)
