Just wondering what programs (aside from the coreutils/X11 and other
elements that make up a basic install), do you consider to be a vital
part of YOUR Linux install?  What are the little additional tools that
you can't live without, or just consider to be necessary that maybe
others wouldn't?

For me, its
    - fortune
    - cowsay
    - xpenguins
    - fvwm(3)
    - oneko
    - emacs
    - mc
    - zsh
    - asclock (using the FreeAMP theme)
    - PCManFM
    - star
    - urxvt
    - xpat2
    - xlock
    - links
    - most
    - lftp
    - lzip
    - xclip
    - screen
    - lrzsz
    - gcc/g++/gdc
    - nasm
    - locate
    - dar
