so use them - i like a bright blue prompt with [user@host : pwd]
(actually, sometimes each field is a different color if i feel like
playing). and a bright yellow cursor. i like my black background
though.
so, install it as your desktop environment, use it for your servers,

use it as low cost or backup routers (i'd go bsd for this but...).

you bang your head against for a day and then find there is a command
that solves it - you don't really forget after that. seriously,
(besides built-in bash or zsh commands) i probably use ls, echo, cat,
file, vim, chown, chmod, nmap, lsof, iptables, ssh (ssh-keygen etc
too), screen (trying tmux), perl, gdb, gcc, make, service, apt-get,
yum, chkconfig, git, find, xargs, grep.
what's that, about 20 commands? i even included project specific
commands (and forgot others for managing vms etc) for dealing with
code and network stuff.
actually, you really shouldn't have to review logs much (see

graylog2.... or splunk if you feel like paying). and really, i'm going
through the opposite change as you - i'm trying to get into doing more
things with code on windows and can't remember simple stuff like netsh
commands and the like for basic config (because i hadn't done much
with windows for ~3 years).
