Good job Dennis. Of course everyone, including me, may have suggestions.
- pg 1, top of column 2: please verify that user#host:~/dir is
sufficient to sync
- Caution that runlevels are not standard across distributions and can be
modified
- Instead of Ubuntu and CentOS pkg mgmt, maybe deb and rpm based pkg mgmt
- drop more if it helps, after all less is more
- alias, chmod, chown, passwd
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.
