Target Reader

This handbook is for doers — people who are ready to build, not just read.

You don't need to be a networking expert. If you can follow a recipe, you can follow this guide. We assume:

• Basic computer skills — you can navigate a file system, open a terminal, and aren't afraid of a command line.
• Willingness to learn — some concepts (IP addressing, VLANs, DNS) will be new. We'll explain them as they come up.
• A real need — you have a community, school, clinic, or organization that needs connectivity.

You do not need:

• A computer science degree
• Expensive equipment
• A large budget
