I would suggest also commands and functions for accessing hardware. As a
relative newbie (how many years can I say that? LOL), hardware has been
my main dilemma. Here's a few suggestions, from my own experiences:

1) How to mount different partitions (with necessary permissions). Both
manually and automatically at boot (fstab).

2) How to access DVD-RW's to burn DVD's.

3) Mounting flash card readers (CF, SD, etc).

4) Synchronizing a Palm to Evolution (just figured that one out myself -
thanks to info on the net).

If nothing more, at least a list of URL's to specific answers (providing
they at least have their internet connection working!).
