Golder rule for sys admins -2

 Stick to Tested Software

Golden rule for sys admins: always stick to using tested software instead of new ones. New software can be a bit tricky and may require more time and attention. So, before you go ahead and implement any new software in our organization, make sure to test it on yourself first.

Why it matters:

  1. Reduces risk: Avoids unexpected errors, downtime, or compatibility issues.

  2. Saves time: Tested software is familiar and easier to manage.

  3. Ensures reliability: Users and IT staff can trust it to perform as expected.

  4. Improves efficiency: Less troubleshooting means more productive work.

Best Practices:

  • Test any new software personally before rolling it out organization-wide.

  • Evaluate stability, compatibility, and user-friendliness during the test phase.

  • Only deploy new software after confirming it works reliably in your environment.

  • Keep documentation of testing results for reference.
