management tools
This subchapter looks at management tools for UNIX and Linux.
Every major version of UNIX and Linux includes several management tools. Some use a graphic interface, while others are accessed through the command line. Some management tools will even provide both a command line and a graphic interface.

free music player coding example
Coding example: I am making heavily documented and explained open source code for a method to play music for free almost any song, no subscription fees, no download costs, no advertisements, all completely legal. This is done by building a front-end to YouTube (which checks the copyright permissions for you).
