emacs-nox, because we have a choice. Then some sane window splitting logic tweaks and a key-binding for 'compile', through which I do everything.

Everything else, be it git or chefdk, will only be once that is done. And, realistically speaking, all that is baked into the VM template or vagrant config anyway as a default. :-D

Webmin. As much as I enjoy working from the CLI and creating BASH scripts I couldn't imagine not having quick access to my servers from a web browser.
Next would be OpenNMS. Gives a great view of the network and the ability to configure email alerts for devices that are down is a big plus.

CentOS 7

Scripts
All,

I have a set of BASH scripts that run after an install because I have over 1,000 utilities and packages that have to load on any box I run.

Cheers!

I have a small list of apps that I install after a clean install, but it's never just one, I have tried that...

But for that most part they are to allow my other security scripts (just list of programs to run and print) to work.

chkrootkit rkhunter msec-gui bash-completion gkrellm-themes fail2ban symlinks inxi lm_sensors tsocks gpm tree fslint clamd

then there's a whole bunch of favourite programs I like to use, Libra Office, Steam-Launcher, ...ffmulticonverter hydrogen-drumkits

I haven't needed to build a kernel in a long, long time... but sometimes I consider that and those tools
