# VIKINGS specialises in providing fast and effective solutions for Linux and BSD environments. Our services range from day-to-day maintenance to solving complex challenges at affordable prices. We also provide customised hosting solutions for small and medium-sized businesses and consumers on our free/libre and open-source platforms.

This community-driven wiki provides documentation including but not limited to:

• Howtos regarding (web)-hosting, virtualisation, infrastructure, Linux services in general.
• Optimisation guides and tutorials for GNU/Linux and coreboot, including BIOS/UEFI flashing instructions, tips and tricks, and information on libre-friendly hardware.
• Hardware sold at the # VIKINGS Shop, such as VIKINGS' secure laptops.

Articles are written so that someone with basic knowledge of a topic can quickly follow the instructions — the goal is to describe the easiest reliable way to achieve something, not to explain every detail. This also means it is easy to start a new article and improve it over time.
