Unix Toolbox
If you're a *NIX novice, chances are you find the CLI (command-line interface, or "shell") a bit daunting. A thousand volumes and more have been written attempting to demystify the command-line, virtually all of which miss the mark. One simple solution is to provide people a list of commands with a very brief outline of what they do, and refer them to `man` for further reading. That's what the Unix Toolbox cheat sheet does. Of course, if you don't need it, don't waste your time with it, but if you're new to *NIX (Linux, BSD, UNIX, etc.), then it doesn't hurt to give it a quick look to see if it fits your needs.
