Good job Dennis.  Of course everyone, including me, may have suggestions.

A more general note is that I find most cheat sheets spend way too much space on the things the user doesn't need reminders on after the first day or two.  Before I looked at yours, I was going to suggest a short section that just listed the most common commands without explanation since they are not likely to be forgotten.  A corollary could be a section only listing further commands to explore.  After looking at your sheet, neither seems practical.

Sam,

Oh, sounds like topics for the sysadmin cheatsheet. :-)

I'm afraid to keep the length at one doubled sheet there is going to be
a lot of useful stuff that won't make the cut.

I briefly mention redirection so I might leave it at that, the pipe
symbol though is a keeper. Thanks!
