baobab

calibre
"I had tried lot of book management software and this looks to be best choice. This highly customizable tool enables me to structure my huge library and add as many parameters as I like to handle, i.e. currently I know where book is placed to, whom borrowed the book and when the book had been read. Also it works well with e-books. If you'd like to have cenralized portal of information re your library - this tool definitely worth trying."

cron
"Old-fashion good scheduler. Usually it takes an action on servers, but if you can find the idea what to run on workstation on the regular basis that app would be good choice. Plain text configuration file syntax is easy to understand."

5
mc
"I used to use that to manage my FreeBSD server as well as linux desktops. Not really anymore (using nautilus, gnome-do and console), but if you need to manage file structures or had a habit to use FAR manager in Win before this would be great app for you."
5
