- Use "systemctl" command to interact with "systemd", the system and service manager.
- Use "shutdown" command to shutdown or reboot Ubuntu systems.
- Use "cp -aR" command to copy directories with all properties preserved.
Better than "rsync -av", which does not preserve SEUbuntu security properties.
- For a GPT partition, you need to use its UUID in the /etc/fstab to mount it.
- User information stored in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group and
/etc/gshadow can be moved from one system to another, as long as there is
no user id and group id collision.
