Sysadmin sites to include in your own searchengine crawl

During the everyday life of a sysadmin Google plays a large role, but also the internal knowledge base is important as there are (should be!) cases related to your specific systems. So hopefully you are providing search for that internal knowledge, or it could go unused!!

I am thinking of collecting a set of external sites to include in our internal search engine crawling, as those sites seems to pop up again and again.

I will build a list of sites to include here, bare in mind this is a raw list, i will update it when they are actually put in the search crawler!
