I forgot scheduling this post, but it is still very relevant: about the debugging related materials by b0rk (Julia Evans) as they are not limited to just “The Pocket Guide to Debugging”.

Be sure to have good (which can be very simple, but more complex when Power over Ethernet is involved) testing hardware and use it during installation. You will thank yourself later.
