 Setup my profile
 -------------------
 https://www.kormoc.com/stuff/bashrc

 Create a ssh key for root

 Check in the /etc, /var/log, and other important dirs into a svn server

 script auto checkin of /etc, /var/log, and other important dirs into
 the svn server nightly

 configure rsnapshot for backups

 That's the basic stuff I do. There's lots of scripting for monitoring
 and the like that I won't get into.
