I’ll probably break these out, but for now this is the title and location.

We’re finally hiring a linux administrator (13 years experience) to replace me and my “hobby”. Good thing is he’s way better than I can hope to be. Bad thing is he doesn’t start for another couple weeks and I have a lot of Linux-y stuff going on.

So here are some helpful commands:
What Linux Distribution Are You Using?
cat /etc/*-release
OR
lsb_release -a

What Kernel Version Am I Running?
uname -a

What Processors Am I Using?
cat /proc/cpuinfo

What Hardware Specs Do I Have? (Motherboard Model, BIOS revision, etc)
dmidecode
OR, if installed
hwinfo

How Do I Setup No-Password-Needed SSH?
ssh-keygen
enter
enter
ssh-copy-id username@systemname
userpassword
