Spotted this great list of open source tools for system administrators: 24 Great Open Source Apps for Admins & Technicians. #

I can personally vouch for a number of these: #

• Angry IP Scanner
• PuTTY
• DBAN
• DeltaCopy

For some tools that are not open source but free, you can’t go past live.sysinternals.com (details here) – now owned by Microsoft themselves these tools make a Windows Sysadmin job much easier. #
