QuickSheets

Introduction:

QuickSheets are a listing of the most frequently used commands and concepts for basic system administration. They are designed to be printed double sided and tri-folded for storage. Another popular method is to print two-up and view as a single page.

The QuickStart pages are somewhat longer and contain more introduction and concepts than a QuickSheet. The intent was not to print these pages, but the formatting has been designed to minimize flow disruption due to page cut off if and when you do.

Notes:

I am not always confident that I have picked the most essential commands so I may be inclined to edit the lists as appropriate at a future date. Community feedback in this area is always appreciated.
The (LaTeX) source is currently not available for distribution.
I do not have a Linux QuickSheet. I do not intend to create one. (Plenty already exist on the web.)
Comments, fixes, or suggestions on the QuickSheet(s) are welcomed.
