Helpful Linux Links

jaa1180 writes "Over my years of using Linux, I have found a number of web pages for helpful information, useful tools, and various other links. I thought perhaps someone else would like to browse through the links. I am sure there are many more out there but I wanted to share what I have. The Linux community helped me a great deal when I was just starting to use linux almost six years ago. So I would like to give a bit back." What other handy links have people stumbled across?

A good newbie guide

This guide helped me greatly when I started out with Linux: Linux Newbie Guide. I didn't see it on your list. Ahh, I remember back when I started out and I had no idea how to install a program in Linux. I was like "WTF, what's the equivalent of a .exe???". This guide showed me the light. :)

rsync

[max born]

rsync is a much overlooked utility that allows secure file transfers/backups over a network (no mention of it at Linux-Backup.net). You can use it to backup whole file sets or just changes in file sets. I've used it to backup 3T/night over 4 subnets (NY, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco).

I can't say enough about this utility. It's command line driven, very scriptable, has a slew of great options, and has made my job really easy.

It has been done already
