News: DesktopBSD 1.6 and FreeBSD 6.3 released. Setting up a central syslog server. If you are concerned about the security of your logs, use a dedicated machine and lock it down. Keep clocks in sync.

GUI tools seem to change every week. Remote management. SSH rocks. Everything is text. Configs, devices, output. CLI is natural complement. Pipes and scripts. One time is hard, a thousand times is easy. Only need a few tools. Grep, sed, awk, vi, cron. Text config files. Easy to version, share, and comment. Requires reading ...
