emacs, you heretic!!!! (vim for small files and stripped operating systems, Emacs for programming enciornments). sed. awk. grep and all the regexp syntax. sort. cut. make (If I run into one more idiot who tries to replace make with their own hand-written and unmaintainable perl or python verian, I will scream: Don't *START* me on the perl's MakeMaker tool.) inetd or xinetd. syslog and its variants. .bashrc and .bash_profile, and the subtle distinctions between them. SysV init scripts: too many people try to re-invent those. Nagios and its monitoring utilits. (Again, too many people try to re-invent those unnecessarily.) Webmin. (Again, too many people try to re-invent utilities already done well in Webmin.) >> >> +1 :) >> Maybe at/cron (crontabs: how to deal with *useful* output of crontabs and >> to learn to target mails to the *good* people :)). >> Maybe also 'sudo': learn them to *not* use root access :) >> >> Regards, >> -- >> Y. > > Screen? VNC and NX, for reconnectable, X-based access.
