Hi toofast,

I have a couple of suggestions for how make your tutorials more readable / useful.
First of all, assume that your readers will not already know what the software you are describing can be used for.
For example, even after visiting http://www.psybnc.at/ I still don't know what this piece of software is meant for.
I can already tell by your description that it is some kind of server software because you talk about configuring a listening port. I can also tell that it has something to do with IRC. So I'm taking a wild guess - it's an IRC server.
So, begin your tutorials with a high level overview of the software's capabilities and do not let the readers of your tutorials second guess basic stuff about the software.
