If you leave j/z out of tar decompression it will figure out what to use on its own.

I’ve never tried vifm but now surely I will. A “part two” for this article will also follow, and it will include rtorrent and vifm.

ElderGeek: I’ll also try HNB and see what’s it about.
Micah: I agree completely (well, except for when CMus doesn’t feature several things like lyrics support).
istok: Nice suggestions, coreutils ;) I’ll include rtorrent in part two.

I would add the following:

- ncmpcpp (great music player client for mpd)
- rtorrent (the best bittorrent client imho)

Best regards.

nzbget is a great terminal based usenet client

mutt as a great cli based email client

and finally never underestimate the power of:

tail -f

for your logfiles :)

All running via screen of course!

Fact is, I when I made the article I jumped from one part to another, which is, it seems, a mistake on my side. I did correct it now.
