^^^^^^^^^
Very to the point if I may mix in. You are talking advanced here
aren't you? I would like to add OpenSSH to that list. And I am
missing/overlooking apache which should be present on all levels
except for some specialized ones.
Is there at some level a topic on (installing and maintaining)
programming tools? I mean Perl, Java, Python, Smalltalk, Eiffel
etcetera, not the standard stuff. And I don't mean programming but
maintaining the tools.
Another one: is emacs covered? (I missed lisp above, didn't I)
