Excellent idea. There are small 3 page laminated guides you can pick up at
bookstores. Borders has them. They're $5 - 10, I think. Maybe Borders would
donate some for the InstallFest?
A LUG used to have a quick sheet you could print out. It might be somewhere
at the LDP. If we can find it, it might be good to have copies at the
InstallFest for people to take home with them.
I sure could have used that years ago when I was first learning *NIX. I did
use one I got for vi when I first started using vi.
