You'll notice that some commands have multiple page variations.
Earlier AI tools produced good pages with solid content, but the current one I'm using—
Claude—creates exceptional CSS/HTML with outstanding content.
Some commands have several versions so you can compare visual layout and content quality,
then decide which you prefer. AI tools excel at different things, much like us humans.
The commands themselves are a sysadmin's fundamental tools. Combined with options and piped together,
these tools can accomplish remarkably complex work.
Knowing which tool to use and when is the long-term learning process. A broken system may make you nervous
the first few times—soon it becomes an adventure in problem-solving.
This collection is as much about using AI to learn Linux as it is about generating quality documentation.
Pages that would have taken me hours to create—just for the typing alone—now take about 90 seconds to generate.
Occasionally pages need minor CSS or HTML tuning, but not often.
Some installation and configuration lessons still need validation (hello, new hire!). Building a
LAMP box,
for example, makes an excellent first project.
AI is the sysadmin's best new tool. Google still has value, but
AI is gold!
As you explore these pages, you'll notice I emphasize learning vi (vim). Why?
When you're in a crisis and the only access is via SSH without proper video support
(like connections to embedded systems or most network devices), you're stuck on a dumb terminal with no UI available.
You'll be grateful to have the full power of vim at your fingertips (literally!) to get systems back online.
The AI determines what is possible.
The designer determines how much of that possibility is realized
