I just got a small webspace account which gives me ssh (and scp)

compile anything...  Maybe I'll just get a different web-package when
I need it (this one was free for me for this year).


You have scp.  Depending on your disk quota, you may be able to scp
other executables that you need.  You just need to be sure they are
compatible with the libc in your /usr/lib/.


Well, that means I might need a compatible system to compile stuff.

Do you have access to /etc/apache/httpd.conf? (location may vary) 

No, just the chroot.

There are a number of minor details.  But the way chroot works, every
file you will need must be in your chroot environment (symlinks don't
even work, IIRC).  Your real limit is disk space.  You might even be
able to scp gcc to the server in your $HOME.

Yeah, well, the account is free and I don't really need it, so static pages are ok, too. For trying out things I always have my home machine.

the standard rather than HTML.  That would be ultimate cool.
