emacs, you heretic!!!! (vim for small files and stripped operating
systems, Emacs for programming enciornments).
sed.
awk.
grep and all the regexp syntax.
sort.
cut.
make (If I run into one more idiot who tries to replace make with
their own hand-written and unmaintainable perl or python verian, I
will scream: Don't *START* me on the perl's MakeMaker tool.)
inetd or xinetd.
syslog and its variants.
.bashrc and .bash_profile, and the subtle distinctions between them.
SysV init scripts: too many people try to re-invent those.
Nagios and its monitoring utilits. (Again, too many people try to
re-invent those unnecessarily.)
Webmin. (Again, too many people try to re-invent utilities already
done well in Webmin.)
