Every general-purpose book has a miscellaneous chapter. This is it for ours! Perhaps you might think that some of the things here belong in a different chapter. However, as Michelangelo is purported to have said:
"Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
Under his tutelage, I took it away from that chapter, and put it here instead!
Sadly, that may make this chapter less than perfect, but I hope you find some of the things here of interest anyway. The top three and most eye-catching ones in this chapter are:
The return of text-based virtual consoles
SMF transition automated alerts
iSCSI management changes
