Red Hat Enterprise Linux cheat sheets for system administrators

Updated -

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) comes with a variety of different tools to manage and configure operating system services and included applications - but the scope of tools and services can be overwhelming. In real life, most administrators are going to use the same types of commands to perform routine tasks, so you don’t need to know all the thousands of potential commands and services. When you master the basics, you can manage your infrastructure for most required tasks.

These cheat sheets work to simplify and clarify managing RHEL systems by showing common commands for common scenarios. These are references (not manuals or how-tos), but they can be handy tools when you need to try a new command or remember how to do something. And if you want other tools for using RHEL, check out RHEL Discover More Page.
