used to, I would have said vi, but now I say nano
ln
There are some commands that are almost too basic worth mentioning, and some you will HAVE to know them to get around on the cli, but here are some very very basic commands:
ls
cd
adduser
passwd
mv
cp
touch
rm
shutdown
nano isn't available on all unix and linux systems by default. Being familiar with vi is a necessity, and if you need something more, learn a real editor. Like emacs.

You can't possibly like both vi and emacs

Here's one I never use:
kill
I use it all of the time. Sometimes the developers want to make sure their programs never go down...

ls: You have to be able to see what your files are.
cp: You have to be able to copy your files.
grep: Searching is a must.
cat: See grep.
mv: Moving files.
rm: Removing files.
vi/pico/etc: You need some kind of editor.
vi: Pretty much every *nix that I've ever used has vi on it. From old dynix and sco boxes, to modern solaris, aix, and linux installs. It's certainly nice to know other editors too, but a fundamental working understanding of vi is absolutely essential for anyone who is a UNIX admin of any magnitude.
ps: You need to see what's going on.
Agreed, also it's good to just say "ps" because of the variance in syntax across different systems. "ps -ef" vs "ps -aux" for example
su: You have to switch users. (and know the difference between su username and su - username)
tar: Everyone has to archive things.
Edit: You really need more than 10.

"man man" is obviously the single most important command. In theory that's all you ever need Can't believe no one's mentioned it yet.
And some people will argue for more, but I like less, more or less.

Usually it's when people start to learn how to copy and paste stuff they don't understand into google.. that's when they get that.
Then the light goes off that they can learn stuff faster by looking for themselves, usually.
