The reference is an easy read and printer friendly.  So if you’re just starting out on that Unix admin job or just trying to get around your own Linux install, this guide is for you. Unfortunately as with the first article, I was not able to fit this one into the blog template so I’ve created a separate html file.  Please read Common Linux Network Commands here.

The openSUSE project is a community program sponsored by Novell. Promoting the use of Linux everywhere, openSUSE.org provides free, easy access to the world’s most usable Linux distribution, openSUSE. The openSUSE project gives Linux developers and enthusiasts everything they need to get started with Linux.

The goals of the openSUSE project are:

• Make openSUSE the easiest Linux distribution for anyone to obtain and the most widely used open source platform.
• Provide an environment for open source collaboration that makes openSUSE the world’s best Linux distribution for new and experienced Linux users.
• Dramatically simplify and open the development and packaging processes to make openSUSE the platform of choice for Linux hackers and application developers.

With the launch of the openSUSE project, openSUSE is now developed in an open model—public development builds, releases, and sources will be posted frequently here and you will have access to our Bugzilla database for defect reporting. You can also sign up on special interest mailing lists to make sure that you are always getting the most recent news on the openSUSE project and the openSUSE distribution. In time (see our project road map), we will create the next-generation distribution development infrastructure including a code management system and a public build server.

This is where the apachetop utility comes in. It’s a very simple command line utility that you can use to monitor traffic real-time. It accomplishes this by parsing the apache logfiles and displaying meaningful output to the screen.
