Miscellaneous

•  A very useful assortment of quick reference cards for Linux, Apache, PHP, etc.
• Random word generator - great for passwords:  http://www.kessels.com/WordGenerator/ (for obvious reasons beware of using web tools to assist password generation, although as clues rather than entire passwords this site seems ok. I quite like pwgen from the Debian package of the same name for generating whole passwords - Francis).
