I wanted a cheat sheet which would display pretty nicely on my Kindle 3, I found a bunch of great ones but none were formatted well to fit on the Kindle so I went ahead and compiled my own from the most useful stuff I found on the others. I’ve put in commands for manipulating text files, searching, permissions, system info and a bunch of other stuff too so check it out if you’re in need of a reference page. I’ll update it on here as it gets updated too.

Give it a try (just change searchcriteria for what you want like apt-get or tar):

history | grep searchcriteria
