This I need:
OpenSSH with all it's features, life without it would be a lot harder and a
lot less secure.
GNU Screen, used with OpenSSH makes a lot of things very much easier.
POSIX shell + Unix tool chain, e.g. Bash+GNU Tool chain. It does an awful of
things and can be used to glue other things together quickly and easily.
Perl, because...
I use OpenSSH to reach my boxes and to forward all sorts of stuff in all
directions. I then tend to run screen so I can do more at once. I mostly work
from the shell because I've mostly got use to it now. Finally my perferred
programming language is Perl, which is what I mostly need the other tools
for.
Thankfull what I want is standard on most GNU/Linux systems, on legacy Unix
systems they may need adding. Windows just needs Linux (or Cygwin at a pinch)
installing on top of it to make it useful for anything other than a games
platform or malware host.
