Debian GNU/Linux This area is more for Debian server-based tips and though there is likely to be some duplication on the Ubuntu links above I think it is worth separating them. text/html 2006-11-01T21:29:47+01:00 Jack L http://jacklarge.me.uk/wiki/doc:start?rev=1162416587&do=diff Large Sysadmin This section is for my general sysadmin tips or procedures.

A database, at its most basic, is a list of items that have some connection. A simple example would be a telephone directory.
