+====== Welcome to the # VIKINGS Wiki ======
+[[https://vikings.net/|# 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.
+===== What this wiki covers =====
+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 [[https://shop.vikings.net/|# VIKINGS Shop]], such as VIKINGS' secure laptops.
+===== How this wiki works =====
+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.
+===== Contributing =====
+Everyone is welcome to edit and add new content.  Registration is required to keep vandalism to a minimum.  Registrations can be anonymous — your display name can be anything if you prefer to stay incognito.  A valid email address is all that is required.  This wiki does not share login credentials with any other system.
