On this site I collect some information about Linux (especially Debian) and several essential software packages like apache, mysql, samba and others.

The main purpose why I maintain this wiki is to have a place where I can find an info if I need it. So this is primary a place where I write down notes or short howtos.

Don't expect to find too many comprehensive guides at the present. But the wiki will grow …

In 2010 I added some information about the photography we (me and my wife Simone) do in our free time. You may have a look at our photoblog as well as on our gallery. Infos about the equipment is available as well.
