A collection of awesome lists, manuals, blogs, hacks, one-liners and tools for Awesome Ninja Admins.
***
## Who is Ninja Admins?
- race of pure evil who rule the network through a monarchist feudal system
- they never opened the door for strangers (or anyone at all)
- they know very nasty piece of code like a **[fork bombs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb)**
- they can make dd is not a **[destroyer of disks](http://www.noah.org/wiki/Dd_-_Destroyer_of_Disks)**
- they know that `#!/usr/bin/env bash` superior to `#!/bin/bash`
- they know that `su -` logs in completely as root
- they miss and cry for **[Slackware](http://www.slackware.com/)** on production
- they love the old admin nix-world
## What is this list?
This list is a collection of various materials that I use every day in my work. It contain a lot of useful information gathered in one piece. It is intended for everyone and anyone who is or wants to become a Ninja Admin (and not only).
This is not a final and full version - I update it on an ongoing basis.
