Also, it looks like my debian desktop calls it atsar for some reason

Could you provide more information abdout "sar"?
I tried wikipedia.com, and on my system: man, info, apropos and emerge (a gentoo distribution tool) for "sar". I did not find anything I thought was relevant....
on Debian/Ubuntu systems, sar is an alternative provided by either the sysstat or atsar package. The command line options, and formatted output are NOT the same, so any scripts won't easily port from one to the other. In my experience, people are generally referring to the version included in 'sysstat' -- Aaron Haviland
