I'm assuming you mean software tools and not hardware (just got a Dell 2405FPW that I'm lovin'). Here's a typical list in no particular order: 1) visual editor -- ed, vi, emacs 2) revision control system -- RCS, CVS, Subversion 3) portability tools -- autotools (autoconf, automake, libtool) 4) build system -- make, gmake, bmake 5) packaging system -- pkgsrc, Open and FreeBSD ports systems 6) debugger -- ddb, gdb 7) decompiler -- jad (for "fixing" Java bytecode) 8) bug tracking/feature request system -- gnats, bugzilla 9) team collaboration tools -- email, IRC 10) typesetting tools -- teTeX 11) Web browser -- lynx, w3m, Mozilla Apologies to the list for the lack of snide comments. -Damian ps. Two items regarding the AK47. I've heard that the majority of these are being produced illegally (manufacturer didn't get the required license from the Soviet inventor) and that, besides the gun barrel, most parts can be stamped out of sheet metal instead of having to be machined.
