It's a nice article. It will be helpful to lots of people. Some of these tools take a while to learn. I hardly know to use some of them :p
They are really nice tools if you know to use them.
Would tools like netstat and whois come under this?

when i joined up this forum, i didnt know a thing about xp. mvp just hapnd
and it felt nice ! :-)

i think the open-source community here is also a vibrant and an open one; hopefully, i shud be able to learn a litl more about it from u guys ;-)

i wish though that the mac guys here were a litle more tolerant. y do i get the feeling that one or two here, just dont like it even if a word is uttered about mac by non-mac users :-(

but...thanx ! :D

They create enough noise to make people believe that they are in majority. Hehehe...

Jokes aside...a very nice post. Reps from my side :)

Some of these tools are already available in Ubuntu Linux. I have tested some of them.
Anyway thanks for the link.
