Install Taskwarrior (terminal based todo application) on Ubuntu/Centos
Taskwarrior is Free and Open Source Software that manages your TODO list from your command line. It is flexible, fast, efficient, and unobtrusive. It does its job then gets out of your way.
If you spend a lot of time on terminal (as a developer or system administrator) then constantly switching to a web app or another GUI based todo applicaations may not be a very productive thing to do. In that case, you may want to try a simple command line application instead.
