Wow, if you go with that idea, and make it reasonably easy to create
these customized refcards (good documentation, readable makefile, you
know...), this could become more like a 'collection of Linux reference
cards' than just one reference card - especially since I see much
interest by many people in this thread.

I think a regexp section would be very good, but perhaps that's for
later.
The network section: ifup and ifdown are the Debian specific network
configuration commands and should probably be mentioned.
ifup start and stop network interfaces according
ifdown to the configuration in /etc/network/interfaces
