I'd consider aspell and remind to be well known linux tools. Pandoc is more modern, but probably the most widely used markup conversion tool. Gnuplot and matplotlib are both very popular for graphing.

Just added it to my cli toolbelt, thanks!

#8This is convenient timing for me. I was just thinking about dual booting to a stripped down cli only arch install on my netbook for fun. I hadn't even thought about having some basic spreadsheet functionality.
Should be interesting to mess around with.
Not an office app, but I think tmux is probably my favorite all around need-to-have, for when I'm working cli only.
edit: this also makes me think it wouldn't be too hard to write an excel as a service layer on a normal windows machine, then use the cli comp to interface with it. You wouldn't get the fancy formatting, but you could pretty easily get the calculations and such, as well as some basic formatting. Also not tough to make it save itself and send it out via outlook or whatever you want. Without all the nutty formatting, the data transmission could be pretty light weight. Wonder if anyone's done that. Might screw around with it if I have spare time

#9Roaring Penguin's remind is a great piece of software, it's been a standard for me since around 2000. Don't forget their include files for stuff like holidays and seasons.
