1. Document everything you do ; You or someone else would come accross the same issue sometime else and from my long experiance; if you dont document you probably would have to start over again!
2. Face the issue from the head and tackle it from the tail! . The best sysadmin practice would be to tackle every issue by studying the issue from its outputs and visual errors and tackling the issue by checking the logs and the internals
3.Do not delete anything as far as possible.These days disks comes very cheap.But data recovery is a costly affair
4.Keep your Os as clean as possible.A clean and tidy place is a lott better to work and troubleshoot
5. Love and respect your operating system and i am sure it will respect you back.Remember the dialog by Nicolas Cage in “Gone in 60 seconds” > Baby if you take care of me…I will take care of you.That should be your relationship with your OS
6. Drop your ego’s. Share with others.Take others advise.Give others credits for their work
7.Feel proud of what you do .Enjoy what you do .You know after all we make the INTERNET work!
It’s been an exciting nine months since we launched the Google Chrome browser. Already, over 30 million people use it regularly. We designed Google Chrome for people who live on the web — searching for information, checking email, catching up on the news, shopping or just staying in touch with friends. However, the operating systems that browsers run on were designed in an era where there was no web. So today, we’re announcing a new project that’s a natural extension of Google Chrome — the Google Chrome Operating System. It’s our attempt to re-think what operating systems should be.
Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we’re already talking to partners about the project, and we’ll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve.
Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. We’re designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds. The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web. And as we did for the Google Chrome browser, we are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don’t have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. It should just work.
