-Welcome to the ISP How-To.  I hope you find information that benefits you here.
+Welcome to the ISP Linux How-To.  We hope you find information that benefits you here.
-This information was first compiled in 1998 when I was starting an ISP and could not find the details I needed on the Internet.  In 2008 I thought it'd be a good idea to take what I've gathered and share it as a wiki.  Perhaps this can become a handy compilation for small ISP entrepreneurs.
+This site contains an on-going compilation of my Linux server and desktop configuration notes, many of which I have expanded into step-by-step documentation.  We use these guides regularly and are glad to share the knowledge with other Linux admins and enthusiasts.
-Feel free to contribute comments, tips, suggestions, etc.
+If you need a Linux consultant please visit the [[https://ispltd.com/|ISP Ltd commercial site]].
-===== Guidelines for use =====
+The information compiled here was first begun in 1998 when starting an ISP.  I could not find information on how to build an ISP entirely using Linux servers and open-source software, so I wrote a Linux ISP How-To in 1998.  This site is the evolution of that effort, which was first published on the ispltd.com web site.

+My favourite Linux distribution for security and operation speed is [[http://www.gentoo.org|Gentoo Linux]].  If I want a server I can build and leave running for a year or more without interruption, Gentoo is my choice.  For rapid deployments and frequent updates I install [[https://www.archlinux.org/|Arch Linux]] on servers.  Using Arch Linux it is quick and easy to update servers every weekend, although this frequently requires rebooting, so Arch is best for sites that do not mind a few minutes of weekly down-time.  I have also worked with Red Hat and Oracle Linux since 2007—large enterprise prefers these even though their software is often years out-of-date—so you will also find some documentation for those distributions.

-If you create or translate a page in something other than english, please put it in a subdirectory with a two-character language code. For example, in the server_guides section you translate a page called 'email' into Italian, so the new page should be named server_guides:it:email). Pages can be renamed if you ever forget to do this.

-My primary focus is [[http://www.gentoo.org|Gentoo Linux]] with secondary focus on CentOS/RHEL.  Feel free to update topics they apply to your favourite distribution.
