Console rulez (as in linux console)

Yep, once again I find myself dragged into blabbing about the beauty of the consoles. I had some troubles with the network and the only way to work in the servers room was, you guessed, console.

Now, I want to briefly share some goodies with you:

wavemon
Awesome tool for helping you with debugging the wifi signal at the server (if you have such thing at the server)
iperf
Another good tool to test the performance between two points on the network
nload
Comes very handy if you need a graph showing the bandwidth. There are other tools here, like iptraf, etc. I just like this one...

Hack, I should expand this article later when I remember other goodies like this...
