Red Hat Enterprise Linux cheat sheets for system administrators

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) comes with a variety of different tools to manage and configure operating system services and included applications — but the scope of tools and services can be overwhelming. In real life, most administrators are going to use the same types of commands to perform routine tasks, so you don’t need to know all the thousands of potential commands and services. When you master the basics, you can manage your infrastructure for most required tasks.

These cheat sheets work to simplify and clarify managing RHEL systems by showing common commands for common scenarios. These are references (not manuals or how-tos), but they can be handy tools when you need to try a new command or remember how to do something. And if you want other tools for using RHEL, check out RHEL Discover More Page.

Top 10 tutorials for Linux administrators

Whether you’re a new Linux admin or a seasoned practitioner, there’s always something new to learn to help you do your job better.

I’ve been administering Linux systems for several years now, and I don’t think a single day has gone by without a learning opportunity. One of my favorite parts about the Linux ecosystem is the willingness to share both tools and information. This year’s top Linux administration articles are a testament to that culture of top minds sharing their knowledge so that you can progress on your Linux journey.

Great Linux resources

Linux administration can be very rewarding, including the satisfaction of finding, resolving, and automating a fix to a complicated problem, the thrill of diving deeper into a complex topic, such as Linux namespaces or the Logical Volume Manager, and even the simple pleasure (frustration?) of arguing about your favorite terminal editor. I’m sure if you asked any of our authors about what inspires their articles, their eyes would light up as they describe a problem they solved or a new technology they learned.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned Linux engineer, 2021’s top articles have something for everyone. You can get started with Linux fundamentals, such as LVM resizing, hashing, databases, and network troubleshooting. When you’re ready for a deeper dive, read more about Linux namespaces, BIOS to UEFI migration, and process performance management. Finally, top off your journey with some reflections about terminal editors and the overall future of our profession.

Have a topic that you’re passionate about? Join our community and continue the tradition of knowledge sharing that makes the Linux ecosystem great.
