What makes this "for developers"? Whats the difference if a sysadmin is reading this, or a Linux user?
Im surprised to see this on the frontpage, it is less than basics in anything any hacker worth its name can do.
- srhngpr 13y agoI think it should read "Web Developers" - those who may be less experienced in setting up a web server like nginx.
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoWhy would a Web Developer be less experienced in setting up a Web server than a Developer? - a touchy Web Developer :)
- jollari 13y agoYou're correct, the audience is really just a matter of semantics. The reason we wrote this post, knowing that this is very basic stuff, is that we found that a lot of the tutorials we'd come across didn't cover the introductory process end-to-end. You're just as surprised as we are to see it on the frontpage!
- jenius 13y agoIn my view, you answered your own question with the second sentence. Sysadmins and linux hackers are no doubt familiar with this stuff anyway and used to reading through sysops-style docs and wikis. Many other developers, we assumed, would not be as familiar with ops at first, and would prefer more of a basic introduction that walks through the steps and explains things clearly.
