I’m Don Watkins and I live in Franklinville, New York. I'm the owner of DGW Enterprises LLC.   I've been using and outfitting computer systems and networks  for over twenty-one years. I have experience with Microsoft Windows, Macintosh and a variety of Linux distributions. I'm sold on the utility and cost benefit of using open source software on any of these platforms.I've been building websites since 1994 when I used the MS-DOS editor to create code for Internet Information Server II. Since that time I've used Front Page, Dreamweaver, HotMetal Pro, HotDog, CoffeeCup, Bluefish, VIM and other editors.

I'm sold on the utility of Wordpress and Drupal and have built a number of websites using each of those open source packages.

I am a Cisco Certified Network Associate, a member of the Ubuntu Marketplace,  a trained Red Hat System Administrator and the first level of Linux Professional Institute certification. I have completed VMWare ESX training and I've deployed VMWare ESX with VMotion. I've built virtual servers in VMWare and Virtual Box and I've deployed them as production server.  I’ve been trained by the best and I have a wealth of experience deploying Linux servers in mixed environments. 

Whether you are in corporate or non-profit your business simply cannot afford to ignore the benefit of using open source software. I can show you how to get the most out of your desktop and server. Many companies don't know where to begin and how to separate hype from fact. That's where I can be a benefit to you.

I believe that open source products can provide users with the tools for education and business that empower them to compete in today’s global workplace.  Be sure to contact me for more information.
