Hello everyone.  If you're into the speed and power of the command line, you might like this utility a great deal.  I just discovered it today.  The name of the package is trash-cli and it has these commands:
trash-empty  (Empty for Command line trash utility.)  
trash-put  (Command line trash utility.)
trash-list                     (List trashed files.)                                                  

After all these years of being a fairly advanced (in my not so humble opinion) Linux user, I am still discovering gems like this.  It is amazing.  An honorable mention goes to ncdu which is a super fast way to look at disk usage.  ncdu is not technically command line; it is interactive text user interface.  It works without requiring any graphics (including over ssh).
