* netstat(8) shows active connections, including tcp(7), udp(7) and unix(7) socket connections. __netstat -anAinet__ shows all IP ports that are open on your machine - very handy.
* Depending on the permissions on certain executables, you can start another X server as a normal user. (Default [Slackware] lets you, DebianLinux doesn't). To use virtual terminal 8 (which is normally unused), do __xinit /usr/bin/X11/xterm -display :1.0 -- /usr/bin/X11/Xwrapper :1.0 vt08__. Now if you run X programs with __$DISPLAY__ set to :1 instead of :0, they go to the server running on vt 8. See xinit(1), Xwrapper(1)

* Learn m4(1) to write macros in. If you're a programmer, m4 is the language used by autoconf(1) for creating portable configure scripts.
* Learn [LaTeX] for documentation (or lyx(1) if you're lazy). You can use pdflatex(1) (which is normally included with the __tetex__ package that provides [LaTeX] for linux distributions) to create PDF files in any style that normal [LaTeX] allows you to. This is very handy for making portable slide presentations as well as the "more typical" reports and articles. See PdfLatexNotes for more hints on this.
