Two nice Linux tools
lftp: amazing text-mode client for http, ftp, sftp and others. Does job control within the client so you can start a transfer of a file and keep doing things inside that client. Automatically reconnects as needed.
file-rc: replacement for the standard init program on Debian and Ubuntu. Rather than a mess of symlinks you just have one simple /etc/runlevel.conf file which shows in one place what programs should be run in what state.
If you make a little shell script called service containing
/etc/init.d/$*
then zsh will automatically tab-complete service names.
