I agree it is out of date. I haven't worked on that page for over a year I think. I have done so much cool stuff in the industry since then and I keep meaning to document it and share what I've learned but I've just been lazy. I did however document how to do 801q packet tagging in there. I did a lot of that about a year ago at NetApp where I worked with a lot of VLANs and virtual machines.

Well out of date or not, for someone like me who's learning the sysadmin ropes and will be sitting for interviews very soon, this is extremely helpful.

Glad to hear that.

Outdated or not, it's an impressive list.

You might expand the packaging section to include at least apt-get, and the source control section to include at least svn and preferably git. There's really no reason to still be using CVS at this point.

Thanks for the constructive suggestions.

Don't forget darcs. I find it useful since they distribute statically linked executables. Installation then becomes a matter of just dropping darcs into a bin directory.
