UNIX – Laptop Setup

This is my basic setup for a laptop/desktop that I have for my family to use.

Debian Based

Should work on Debian, Ubuntu (all Ubuntu flavors)

sudo apt-get --assume-yes install ntp
sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/Detroit
sudo service ntp stop
sudo ntpdate us.pool.ntp.org
sudo service ntp start
echo nameserver 208.67.222.123 > /etc/resolv.conf
echo nameserver 208.67.220.123 >> /etc/resolv.conf
ifconfig eth0 | grep inet | awk '{ print $2 }'
ip addr show eth0 | grep inet | awk '{ print $2; }' | sed 's/\/.*$//'
curl http://kittell.net/ip.php
