Hi,

Traceroute and ping are to me some very useful tools to have on any system, and

it still bugs me that ubuntu does not include traceroute by default ..

sudo apt-get install traceroute

I recently tried another tool which I wanted to share called

iftop

think "ifconfig" "top" -> iftop

nice for those ssh sessions where you don't have the graphical
screen...

sudo apt-get install iftop

here's a bit of a writeup on iftop

so, the question, WHAT do you install?

thanks
