Comment on Cool, but obscure Unix toolsparent

Yep, lots of them are known to some subset of people. However, if people find one or two really useful ones that they didn't know about previously, the list has done its job.

For me, the major winner was dstat. Did not know about that tool - I've been struggling with the output of iostat. I'll also be experimenting with tmux as a screen replacement/alternative.

Yeah, most of these weren't anything new, but I hadn't heard about ack. Very useful.
