Any known list of CLI packages in Ubuntu?

[themarker0]

I'm going through making a slightly more newb friendly remix, just wondering if anyone compiled a list of CLI programs in Ubuntu 10.10?

Depends on what you mean with programs/packages;
is it basic terminal stuff like ls cd cat grep a little more involved stuff like sed awk
or bigger programs as vi/vim emacs mpd/ncmpc links/lynx/w3m
IE basic stuff present on any linux distribution for system management, or more like user oriented every day programs that happen to run in cli?

But I don't think that there is such a list.

If you are looking for terminal programs, there is a (ubuntu derivative I think) distro targeted for cli use, Crunchbang I think it's called--never used it though.

Theres a category like that on Synaptic...

AFAIK, those are packages related to Mono and not the command line.

Not that one...

Open a terminal window and hit tab, 90% of the commands that show up should be Command-Line only :)
