45 <h3>How to Join HCoop
</h3>
48 HCoop is currently accepting new members and only asks that you meet the following basic requirements prior to submitting your application. Members must be able to:
51 <li><strong>Pay $
7/month in United States dollars.
</strong> Most members pay with
<a href=
"http://www.paypal.com/">Paypal
</a> or
<a href=
"http://checkout.google.com/">Google Checkout
</a>, which can process major credit cards or pull money from your bank account.
53 <li><strong>Use a basic Linux working environment.
</strong> Most of our members are fairly technically inclined, but some aren't. If you haven't used Linux before, it doesn't have to be a deal breaker for you and HCoop. If you're good with computers and willing to do a little learning, you should be fine. Other HCoop members will probably be willing to help you through the use of our
<a href=
"https://lists.hcoop.net/listinfo/hcoop-help">hcoop-help
</a> mailing list.
55 <li><strong>Agree to our
<a href=
"tos.html">Terms of Service
</a>.
</strong> Nothing too weird.
57 <li><strong>Read the
<a href=
"http://wiki.hcoop.net/MemberManual/GettingStarted">Getting Started
</a> section of our
<a href=
"http://wiki.hcoop.net/MemberManual"Member Manual
</a>, which is on our
<a href=
"http://wiki.hcoop.net/">Wiki
</a></strong>. Lots of good information here.
