Top 10 Items in the Linux Admin Toolkit

Posted by Zonk on 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."

    to remove this leenuchs curse, and put an operating system thats actually usable. No more worries about which ld.so config to put in. Was it LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.0 or 2.20.0? 2.4.22?

    Which version of libc again? Do I need to have some ld.so.preloads becuase somone took symbols out that are now preloaded?

    What about the ethernet drivers? Im so glad Ive got eth0, but what the hell is it? What about eth1,2,3,4...

    Not to mention all the joy of X11.

    Sorry Leenuchs is no where near ready for the 'real world'.

    OSX x86 will have a better chance of getting real life users.
