What is this wiki about?

This is my personal knowledge base. It's mainly about Linux engineering, development, system customization, and networking but also some things I might want to recall about other operating systems. So basically this an extension of my thoughts, but you are welcome to navigate around this wiki, hope it helps you too much.

If you want to make some comments or just say hello, you can sending me an email to [email protected]
