📘  Getting Started & Common Fixes

Navigating different distributions requires knowing the right tools for the job.

1. The Universal Package Manager Cheat Sheet

Each "family" of Linux uses a different system to manage software:

2. Fixing Common Connectivity & Permission Issues

• SSH Access Denied: Check if the service is running: sudo systemctl status ssh. If you've updated your keys, ensure the permissions are correct: chmod 700 ~/.ssh && chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

• Disk Space Exhaustion: Use df -h to find the full partition and du -sh /* | sort -h to find the specific folder consuming space.

🚀 Tips for a Successful Server Setup

1. Always Use Key-Based Authentication: Disable password logins for SSH immediately to prevent brute-force attacks.

2. Document Everything with Runbooks: Ensure every manual change is recorded, or better yet, scripted via Ansible.

3. Monitor Early: Don't wait for a crash. Install monitoring agents (like Prometheus or Zabbix) during the initial OS provisioning.

4. Stay "Leaned Out": Only install the packages you absolutely need. A smaller footprint means a smaller attack surface.
