I can help with a few of these: git, svn, cvs: These are source code revision control tools (git is distributed, svn/cvs are centralized). git is used by the Linux kernel developers. svn is meant to replace cvs and is the most commonly used tool for open source projects. Other similar tools include open-source DARCS, Mercurial, Bazaar, arch, Monotone, and codeville; and proprietary ClearCase, BitKeeper, Perforce, MKS, StarTeam, and Visual SourceSafe/TFS. There are MANY others. dig, nslookup: DNS resolution tools, used to check what a given DNS name is pointing to and verify resolution paths. Dig is intended to replace nslookup. scp: scp is part of the OpenSSH suite, and performs a file copy between systems using SSL to authenticate the destination user and encrypt the data in transit. Related tools include ssh, ssh-copy-id, ssh-agent, ssh-keygen, slogin, and ssh-add. ps: basic process statistics. Try ps -elf or ps aux. aux: usually seen as an argument to ps, rather than it's own program... imo: I think this is just a shortened caveat (In My Opinion)
