Here are my pages which deal with Linux System Administration. A complete listing of my Linux pages may be found at the Linux Table of Contents.

Hardware Administration
  Mounting a Macintosh partition
  It's out there.
  Mounting the CD-ROM device
  There are many times when having access to a CD from Linux would be a pleasure. Here's how.
Networking Administration
  Getting a TCP/IP address from a DHCP server
  Many companies and Internet Service Providers use DHCP to dynamically provide IP addresses. Here's how your Linux box can get one upon demand.
  netcfg
  How I used the netcfg command to configure Linux to use static IP addressing.
Security Administration
  sudo
  There's an amazing tool which allows the superuser (root) to authorize other users to have the ability to execute commands normally beyond their reach.
  sudoers
  An example sudoers file
Software Administration
  RPM Package Administration
  Finding an RPM on the distribution media
  When adding functionality it becomes important to find an RPM on the CD-ROM, but how?
  Using RPM to manage packages
  There'll come a time when you want to add software to your Linux system. You'll have to find the package and install it with rpm. Here's how.
  User Interface Administration
  Dvorak keyboard keymapping for Linux
  The Dvorak key layout has been a wonderful tool for me: faster typing with less hand stress. But how to get Linux to use Dvorak at a low level?
  keysym
  dvorak
  kmap
  mac-us-ext-dvorak.kmap
  X Window System Administration
  Using switchdesk to choose a desktop manager (GNOME, KDE, etc.)
  My Linux shipped with GNOME as the default desktop manager, but I found I liked KDE better. How to make the choice stick?
