Sysadmin Toolbox Top Ten

Linux.com is running a user writeup of several handy tools by an up-and-coming Linux user. It is always interesting to see how newer users are approaching system customization. What have some of the more seasoned Linux power-users and sys admins put in their "toolbox top 10", and why?

Transmission?

What a pile of shit article. Since when is a BitTorrent client needed for sysadmin work? Oh, right, he has used Linux since he was 11 so he has 3 years under his belt.

For those of us with no clue wtf you're talking about or wtf those are, would you mind telling us why you use those tools as opposed to others?

Also, while you thankfully gave links to the about pages of those sites, you also seem to have inadvertantly slashdotted a few of the links (leaving those of us who actually click links in the dark about those programs)

We get it already...

What is more annoying? A 17 year old trying to sound knowledgeable and important? Or that time you read the 43rd comment in a row about Bittorrent not being a Sysadmin tool? The real irony is that all you repetitive pricks are probably 14 yourselves...
