Top 10 Items in the Linux Admin Toolkit

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday November 1, 2005 @10:14AM from the lots-of-penguin-shaped-tools dept.

Joe Barr writes "Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier has listed his favorite top ten tools for Linux system administration in a story on Linux.com, one of Slashdot's sister sites." From the site: " Since I spend a lot of my time working with text files, either when I'm writing and editing or when I'm mucking with configuration files and shell scripts, I've become very attached to my editor of choice -- Vim. Over the years, I've tried a lot of other editors, but none of them has been sufficient to coax me away from Vim. Part of the reason for that is the fact that I no longer have to think about using Vi-style keybindings, and adjusting to anything else would seriously hinder my productivity."

I've never tried Emacs, but then again I don't do a huge amount of text editing.

Hey you know what? I really like Birkensocks, but then again I'm a double leg amputee...
