About Yonit

They say “Necessity makes strange bedfellows”.

That’s how my Linux career started, fresh out of NT 4 admin course, working as a windows sysadmin, i inherited a couple of battered Linux DNS server (redhat) which soon died.

I didn’t even know what “ls” is, but i had to reinstall a fresh Linux based DNS server from scratch, and it was the most interesting thing i have done !

I was terrified of the servers at first, but soon enough i learned what i needed to work with it and never looked back, the next job i took was a Linux sysadmin position, and that’s what I’m doing since then, 10 years after.

Linux is my hobby, passion and proffession and I just love this platform, its working great, its cheap,
one sysadmin can manage hundreds of servers by himself (If they are installed correctly that is), and any IT manager can save his company thousands of dollars by moving applications to Linux servers.

This blog is to help other sysadmins with their Linux issues, i have learned and still learn a lot about Linux, IT management, high traffic web sites and Linux – windows integration, and i wish to help others with the know how i acquired over the years.

Very interesting blog. I’m not a sysadmin, I wish. I work for a medium sized UK isp, try to work it out from my email address. I work in customer services but that is my aim eventually.

I have until recently run my own lamp server for about 4 years until it died recently, I learnt alot along the way. I know bits and I keep reading all the time. I’m currently reading about lvm so I can setup my new box as best as I can and secure as possible.

Thanks for a great read.

I am not into computers but it is good to read your articles. I believe that’s your passion! I am a technical person as well but it’s a bit different. I was a regional technical support for the uninterruptible power supplies before. Right now I go online to share my experiences and knowledge.

I just dropped by to check out what would be interesting info I could get ( if I could relate, hahah) here. Just getting ideas for my blogs.

Right now I have a blog about internet scams and hoping if you could help me by sharing your knowledge that relates to your expertise..maybe you could help me about identity theft, phising, and the like.

If you have time you can visit my blog.

for your tips it would be much appreciated if you drop me an email at livinginphils@yahoo.com

Thank you very much.
