SAM: Learning Linux System Administration

SAM for the WIN!

This is a well organized and easily consumable gold mine of material for getting started with Linux. I regularly refer fellow students struggling with Linux to this post. Having the smaller individual posts for each subsection really helps with content retention and keeping things organized logically while tackling the material.

@scottalanmiller Something to add to this topic is firewalls and how to manage them

That's not so much a Linux thing. Most would recommend something that is purpose built for firewalls, like VyOS.

See, now you're going to get me to do that write up. I'll warn everyone now, I'm planning on drinking when I get home tonight, my normal poor quality might be even worse than normal!
