My sysadmin toolbox (Linux.com)

Mikhail Zotov has a list of tools for non-professional system administrators who manage Linux machines in a home or small-office network. "Finally, a few words on recovery tools are in order. Anyone administering a Linux machine has probably faced a situation when it was necessary to boot from media other than the hard drive. Perhaps you installed Linux on your colleague's machine but forgot the root password after a few days, or you installed a new kernel but didn't run lilo before rebooting the machine, or severe problems with the root partition were detected during boot."
