1.sudo, not su
2. ls
3. cd
4. top, ps
5. netstat
6. tcpdump, snoop, ethereal
7. ping, nslookup
8. ssh
9. telnet port to find out what's running on a particular port if possible
10. vi

There are also less, grep, sed that are grouped with any aforementioned. The rest falls into 11 and below category.
