It is the usual industry practice to have a debug PC box, test PC box,
and production PC box. Nobody works directly on a production box
without experimenting first on debug PC and test PC. This is because
the skills of a person varies and every person needs a warm-up
exercise before doing the final show. A computer hardware is a very
sophisticated technology like "Space Shuttle" and risks are involved
as it can fail unexpectedly. Eventhough efforts are made to ensure
that this document is upto-date and all commands are pre-tested, it is
strongly recommended that you should practice your skills first on a
trainer test PC before you do anything to live production box. You
will sharpen your skills and hone your knowledge first on a test PC
running Linux and after everything works, then change the production
box. Even if you break the test PC with dangerous commands you will
learn by doing mistakes and you can afford breaking the test PC. You
will be more confident working first on Test PC. Most companies
purchase old PCs for using them as "Trainer Machines". Please
understand that there is no warranty or guaranty and you can make your
own warranty by checking this document with your test PC or your home
PC (low risk environments).

You can automate the process of maintaining the Linux system with the
powerful tool like apt-get. The apt-get tool is immensely powerful and
used by millions of computers world-wide on Linux systems. The apt-get
utility works with Redhat Linux and Debian. The apt-get works with
distros which support RPM or Deb packages. The apt-get may work with
most of the distributions; if it does not you can very easily tailor the
code. Mandrake has tool called urpmi.
