Embracing Linux

I've slowly worked my way into a Linux/Unix environment. I started using SSH access to familiarize myself with navigating the Unix landscape. Now I use Linux on one of my tower PCs; specifically, Ubuntu Server Linux. I like it because it's well documented and developed somewhat for ease-of-use. I've also used Ubuntu desktop via virtual machine as well as Open Solaris.


One thing that I noticed when using Linux is that it's difficult to find the correct commands when you need them. Often, they're just a simple search away, but other times it takes a long time to refine which tutorial is the proper one to follow. Some of them require a little customization for the specific distro. I'm going to try to publish some of the tutorials I use for personal reference in addition to clogging up my del.icio.us. The problem is that often these links I use aren't worth clogging up my del.icio.us, so this will work to clear that up and make it simple to find my solutions after I've found them once.
