| Task | Debian/Ubuntu | RHEL/Rocky/Alma | Arch Linux |
| Update Repos | sudo apt update | sudo dnf check-update | sudo pacman -Sy |
| Install Package | sudo apt install | sudo dnf install | sudo pacman -S |
| Check Services | systemctl status | systemctl status | systemctl status |
| Check Logs | journalctl -xe | journalctl -xe | journalctl -xe |
Permission Denied: Instead of chmod 777 (which is dangerous), I recommend using chown to fix ownership or chmod 644/755 for specific files/directories.
SSH Connection Timeout: Check the firewall (sudo ufw status or sudo firewall-cmd --list-all) and ensure Port 22 is open. Verify the sshd service is running: sudo systemctl status ssh.
Disk Space Full: Use du -sh /* | sort -h to find which directory is consuming space. Often, /var/log or old package caches are the culprits. Use sudo apt clean or sudo dnf clean all to free up space.
Use SSH Keys: Always disable password authentication in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and use SSH keys for login.
Separate Partitions: Keep /var, /home, and / on separate partitions to prevent a log overflow from crashing the entire system.
Minimalism: Only install the packages you absolutely need. Fewer packages mean a smaller attack surface.
Automated Backups: Never rely on manual backups. I implement automated, off-site, encrypted backups from day one.
