Check out www.ugu.com as well - FAQs, sysadmin tips & links to details on most flavours of Unix.
IMHO, the MOST useful command for a sysadmin is "df", to monitor fileystem usage; Then "du" to see what's filling up those filesystems.../var tends to be the worst offender.
No doubt others will argue that backups, user support and monitoring error logs are more important, but I like to try to look ahead & spot trends before they become a problem!
Have fun :)
