Just in the interest of standing on the shoulders of Patrick…and a bunch of other people…

ll is an alias to `ls -l`. I started off on Red Hat and they always included that by default. Kind of boring. I am surprised that clear was not the top spot, as I type it by reflex constantly.
Here is mine (from a shell machine, not my notebook)

It’s interesting that you both have ssh as your #1.
Hathaway, you get credit for using a command I have never even heard of: ‘ipmitool’.
And Don, you get extra geek cred for the ec2 command.
Who else?
Linux box at home:
172 python
69 screen
62 telnet
56 nano
32 cd
18 ls
16 exit
12 ssh
6 upnpscan
6 rake
Although that’s skewed quite a bit by my recent “game” coding and testing. I can’t say telnet is usually in my top three. :)
I think my bash history is borked, since I’ve been running ‘git’ a lot, certainly more often than xvncviewer, which I only tried one day.
