I am installing a new system. I wanted to know which commands I use most
frequently on my older systems so I could be sure they were added to the new
box. I chose a VM I am often on and analyzed my bash history. The results,
quite frankly, surprised me. Taking in to account the last 6000 commands run:
* I have ran 67 uniq commands as my regular user
* I have ran 90 uniq commands as root.

Below are the top ten commands I've used:
# Regular User
     311 ssh
     100 less
      69 ls
      64 screen
      59 ping
      58 su
      50 whois
      48 vim
      48 dig
      29 cd

# Root
     248 ls
     148 salt
     103 cd
      95 vim
      53 service
      37 tail
      39 cat
      38 yum
      35 git
      28 rm


This got me thinking. How does this list compare to the top commands used by
other PLUGers? If you are trying to figure out what skills to add to your
ninja belt, what can your command history teach you? One thing I've learned is
that I should probably study up on the options to 'ls' ;-)

I've run 271 Uniq commands as a regular user ( Work workstation )
 Top 10:
   1022 cvs
    812 vim
    806 ls
    559 fg
    553 cd
    463 yaourt
    312 perl
    247 grep
    207 ping
    204 sudo

And 17 as root
 Top 10:
     20 pacman
      5 vim
      4 yaourt
      3 ls
      2 lspci
      2 fg
      2 dmesg
      1 uname
      1 tail
      1 rm

I use zsh as my weapon of choice. My home system, I imagine isn't much different, with the exception of git replacing cvs.
