In reality you are +recommended to keep your ICT guide in the loop as a technical advisor, +continuously checking security and optimize/improve/extend services. + +You keep your ICT guide only for as long as the relationship is mutually +beneficial: Your data, services and know-how stays with you. Your system keeps +running, it just slowly becomes "oldfashioned". And you can take in other ICT +guides or ordinary technicians - all code is Free Software, tied to the Debian +GNU/Linux distribution with one of the largest userbases worldwide and favoured +especially amongst skilled networks administrators. + +## More info + + * Daily [[use]] + * Technical [[overview|admin]] -- cgit v1.2.3
