Good morning everyone,

While vi, cat more or less can work (see what I did there..)  for looking at every day Linux Administration, sometimes I think it’s just easier to work with a menu based interface, where you can select and navigate messages and options, with a little bit of color, possibly function key interaction, and a working interface, similar to using make menuconfig for compiling the kernel and similar to performing a legacy text based install on a new system. Is there a master list of those kinds of apps that have a menu for looking at various things?  Can anyone who thinks of more of these apps rattle off some other options such as:

abc – for reading logs xyz for text based chat def – for a menu based browser ghi – for a text mail client, etc
