the background: i'm teaching a 2-day course later this week on
unix/linux power tools, and i've already got the manual, but it looks
like there's maybe 1.5 days worth of content there, so i have the
freedom to fill up another 1/2 day with whatever cool utilities i
want.  i'll be teaching the course off of SL 6.0 so i have the
flexibility to add in whatever's normally available from the SL repos.

  i'm going to add in some package management using yum, plus a quick
tutorial on ssh.  any other topics people here use on a really regular
basis that they find indispensable?  not necessarily admin level, just
really, really handy programs.  i realize it's kind of an open-ended
question, i'm just curious.

  thanks for any suggestions.
