As experts, we want to empower you. Here is a unique breakdown of essential commands and how they differ across the major "families" of Linux.
| Task | Ubuntu/Debian (apt) | RHEL/Fedora (dnf) | Arch Linux (pacman) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Update System | sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade | sudo dnf upgrade | sudo pacman -Syu |
| Install Software | sudo apt install <package> | sudo dnf install <package> | sudo pacman -S <package> |
| Remove Software | sudo apt remove <package> | sudo dnf remove <package> | sudo pacman -R <package> |
Permission Denied: Use chmod +x filename to make a script executable or chown user:group filename to fix ownership.
Service Won't Start: Check the logs with journalctl -u service_name or systemctl status service_name.
Disk Full: Run df -h to see which partition is full and du -sh * to find the offending large folders.
Network Down: Use ip a to check interface status and ping -c 4 8.8.8.8 to test connectivity.
We recommend these "Golden Rules" for every professional installation:
🔒 SSH Hardening: Never allow root login over SSH. Disable passwords and use ED25519 SSH Keys for authentication.
🛡️ Firewall First: Enable ufw (Debian/Ubuntu) or firewalld (RHEL/Fedora) immediately after OS installation. Only open ports you absolutely need (e.g., 22, 80, 443).
💾 Partition Logic: For production servers, keep /var and /home on separate partitions to prevent log files or user data from crashing the root (/) system if they fill up.
📉 Monitor Resources: Install htop or netdata early to track CPU, RAM, and I/O spikes before they become outages.
