+I was browsing through old gists and found an old one with the [ABCs of
+Linux][1]
+
+> A is for awk, which runs like a snail, and
+> B is for biff, which reads all your mail.
+> C is for cc, as hackers recall, while
+> D is for dd, the command that does all.
+> E is for emacs, which rebinds your keys, and
+> F is for fsck, which rebuilds your trees.
+> G is for grep, a clever detective, while
+> H is for halt, which may seem defective.
+> I is for indent, which rarely amuses, and
+> J is for join, which nobody uses.
+> K is for kill, which makes you the boss, while
+> L is for lex, which is missing from DOS.
+> M is for more, from which less was begot, and
+> N is for nice, which it really is not.
+> O is for od, which prints out things nice, while
+> P is for passwd, which reads in strings twice.
+> Q is for quota, a Berkeley-type fable, and
+> R is for ranlib, for sorting ar table.
+> S is for spell, which attempts to belittle, while
+> T is for true, which does very little.
+> U is for uniq, which is used after sort, and
+> V is for vi, which is hard to abort.
+> W is for whoami, which tells you your name, while
+> X is, well, X, of dubious fame.
+> Y is for yes, which makes an impression, and
+> Z is for zcat, which handles compression.
