bc utility is surely one of the underdogs when it comes to calculations on command line.
It’s a feature rich utility that has its own fan base but needs time to get comfortable with

• bc is included with (almost?) all Linux distros as standard, as well as (again, almost?) all Unices.
• Results from calculations in some proprietary flavours of bc have up to 99 decimal digits before and after the decimal point. This limit has been greatly surpassed in GNU bc. I don’t know what that limit is, but it’s at least many, many tens of thousands. Certainly it’s more than any GUI-based calculators (I’ve used) could accomodate.
• You may also find yourself working in an environment where you simply don’t have access to a GUI.
• The syntax for basic sums is almost identical to Google’s calculator function, so you can learn how to use two utilities in one go!

aspell linux commandwhat is aspell ?
it’s a GNU Aspell is a Free and Open Source spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell.
It can either be used as a library or as an independent spell checker.
Its main feature is that it does a much better job of coming up with possible suggestions than just about any other spell checker out there for the Englishlanguage, including Ispell and Microsoft Word. It also has many other technical enhancements over Ispell such as using shared memory for dictionaries and intelligently handling personal dictionaries when more than one Aspell processis open at once.
