sys-process/glances- Similar to htop, includes disc I/O and network I/O in display.
app-portage/eix- Quick portage package search
app-portage/gentoolkit- Portage utils
app-misc/mc- GNU Midnight Commander is a text based file manager --- some will recall
MS-DOS XtreeGold app-text/wgetpaste- Command-line interface to various pastebins; very useful in providing info along with bugs reports
net-irc/irssi- A modular textUI IRC client with IPv6 support; a powerful tool to get help, but note that Funtoo Community has no IRC channel, and moved to Discord. Nice companion to
