What are your top ten system administrator truths? Here are a few of mine:

- Make sure you can leave the system exactly like it was before you touched it.
- Dont fix what isn’t broken.
- Even if you are genius, follow the manual/RTFM.
- Dont reinvent the wheel; compare with something thats working.
- Contrary to belief, cables can fail.
- If its exists, it exists for a reason – Delete Never, Rename Always
- Your memory is not infinite, nor are your coworkers mind readers; document.
