The coolest tools in the box
My last note was a bit negative, so I’d do better to offer something a little more positive this time — probably the coolest utilities that I have found thus far, in my short Linux experience.
1. nfs. One of the things that always impressed me about nfs was it’s simplicity: Attach a folder on a networked machine to another, and browse through it like it’s part of the natural structure. No need for complex cryptic sign-ins, esoteric networking protocols or funky intermediaries. One adjustment to your fstab file and you can make a file server or a torrent client available to anyone (or only certain ones) on the network. I discovered this shortly after picking up Linux, and use it on a daily basis, more or less. It’s too quick and convenient … and cool.
2. rsync.
