Anapnea is a free shell provider that runs Gentoo Linux. It has been operational since January 7, 2007. The name "Anapnea" is actually an obscure english word which means "recovery of one's breath; restoration of breath". The service experienced a downtime of two months when it was hacked on June 21 by an unknown party. Service was restored August 10 on a better server with more extended services and stricter membership requirements.
