9:40 AM EST 		I just learned about this one in an interview yesterday - it doesn't come by default with FC or Ubuntu, but after reading about it, I think it's going to become one of my favorite commands.

NAME atsar -- system activity report

SYNOPSIS atsar [ -flags ] t [ n ]

atsar [ -flags ] [ -s time ] [ -e time ] [ -i sec ] [ -f file | -n day# ]

DESCRIPTION The program atsar(1) can be used to deliver statistics. The design of this program can be compared with the standard sadc(1) and sar(1) programs being delivered for other UNIX-implementations, i.e. a data-collector which reads the statistical counters (from the files under the directory /proc ) and a presentation-program which formats the counters and presents them on stdout.

In terms of detailed learning about GNU/Linux and more extensive up-to-date documentation of GNU/Linux outside of any particular distribution, whatever happened or in fact *is* happening to the The Linux Documentation Project, http://www.tldp.org/ ?????
