# How Cool Computers works

> Set up name.cool.computer, leave it when you are done, and return to the same computer later.

1. **Create.** Add a persistent Linux computer to your Cool Computers account.
2. **Build.** Install tools, write code, and configure the services your work needs.
3. **Share.** Public computers appear in the gallery at `name.cool.computer`. Private computers stay out.
4. **Return.** Reconnect later, or visit `name.cool.computer` to reach its configured service.
