Nichewares & Consulting, LLC

After careful consideration, we have decided to make our documents, howtos, tips and tricks, notes, etc for both Linux and Windows available free of charge.

Our documentation includes howtos, manuals, and simple notes and have all been generated as a result of some project or problem we have worked on. What this means is that these documents have been generated from experience and knowledge, not directly from training or hearsay. Topics range from desktop and server configurations, server cluster designs, setting up embedded system using a miniITX system or perhaps a Linksys wireless router to simple how to setup a schedule reboot script for Windows. Bottom line is that we have a wide variety and diverse type of documents available with new documents and howtos added all the time.
