Abstract

The Systems Administration Miniconf focuses on professional management of real-world Linux and open source environments, both large and small. The Miniconf aims to include a diverse range of tools and techniques that will help keep your entire environment functioning smoothly, and accomplish more with less effort. An important goal will be to provide talks directly useful to professional Linux administrators. This is the fourteenth year that the Sysadmin Miniconf has featured at Linux.conf.au. More information, including presentation slides and recordings from previous years, is available on the Sysadmin Miniconf website
