Web tools are those that work on your browser and don’t need to be downloaded on to the system. They are usually easy-to-use and fast to work with. In addition, they also save a lot of your computer’s resources, which makes them even more useful. So, here are some tools that suit the profile and help the administrators.

It doesn’t use any boot disks, or CDs and everything is done via TFTP and PXE. Also many drivers are built into the kernel, so you don’t really need to worry about drivers (unless there isn’t a linux kernel driver for it).
