I'd like to start a collection of good, free cheat sheet resources for system administrators. Please add your favorite ones. From the Wikipedia "cheat sheet" article:
In more general usage, a "cheat sheet" is any short (one or two page) reference to terms, commands, or symbols where the user is expected to understand the use of such terms etc but not necessarily to have memorized all of them.
I add my own favorite: Cheat Sheets on PacketLife.com has some very nice ones on network technology topics.
Cheat sheets are in PDF format. You are welcome to use and redistribute them as you please, so long as they remain intact and unmodified.
Currently there are six categories:
Examples: Common Ports and IPv6 (links to PDF files)
I wish to use this at some point... for now though, I'm a nano dork but thought it might be handy for some here:

Google.com (I know - it's not a list with two-word commands, but it saves my behind every time).

Nice Windows 2008 technology posters available here:
Windows Server 2008 Component Posters
These two posters, originally published in the July 2007 issue of TechNet Magazine, provide a strong visual tool to aide in the understanding of various features and components of Windows Server 2008. One poster focuses exclusively on powerful new Active Directory technologies, while the other provides a technical look at a variety of new features available in Windows Server 2008 (such as Server Core, Network Access Protection, and more).
And a list with cheat sheets for different languages, systems and so on.
Windows 2003 Command Line Reference is more of a 50 lb manual than a cheat sheet, though if someone has something lightweight with the compressed syntax, that would rock...
The SQL Server cheat sheet is a one-page A4 printable document, designed to provide a quick reference for SQL Server. A description of what is on the cheat sheet follows, or if you are impatient, you can go straight to the full size SQL Server cheat sheet.

Not free, but definitely worth mentioning.
xkcd have a wearable Linux cheat sheet.
I'm sure it's just because I don't mess with RAID that often, but when I do need it, this is immensely helpful.
This document is a collection of Unix/Linux/BSD commands and tasks which are useful for IT work or for advanced users. This is a practical guide with concise explanations, however the reader is supposed to know what s/he is doing.
This regular expression cheat sheet in PDF format has been pretty helpful in the past.
I enjoy keyboard shortcuts

I use it all the time for system administrator and developer related tasks, especially when trying to make an applications talk to a database other than what it was originally designed for and the support isn't all that great.
As an admin (and after) I find that I need to often create tools for the browser.
I'm not a designer (nor do I desire to be one), but I have found VisiBone cheat sheets immensely helpful:

DevCheatSheet.com - Huge collection of cheat sheets and reference cards for developers (and admins)
Found this whimpy list of links to various sheets for various technologies...there's only, oh, I dunno, three dozen of these...
Set Operations for Unix. some of the most useful stuff I've seen to date. Not only it speeds things up greatly, but it educates you how to do things in a smarter way than the CS101 'solve it for one case, put it in a loop' strategies.
Website with explanations
Shorter version, for hanging on the cubewall: DOWNLOAD
I keep the Vi Reference Mug on my desk just in case I forget something.
Also, I saw a cheat sheet here for Subversion but not one for Git. Try this one.
More for web development, but I just added the following excellent resource to my bookmarks this morning.

All of my other favorites have already been mentioned.
WordPress Template/Theme Editing
Many sheets on many topics including HTML, JavaScript, JSP, CSS, Delphi, Ada, C, C#, C++, etc. ad nauseam (a listing of sheets from many sources)
Also and perhaps most important for admins even if it's not really a single-page format: Rosetta Stone for Unix which lists equivalent commands for AIX, A/UX, DG/UX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, Linux, Mac OS X, NCR Unix, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Reliant, SCO OpenServer, Solaris, SunOS 4, Tru64, Ultrix and UNICOS
That last one was very useful when dealing with disks - I was looking for something like parted, not for "divvy" which is what SCO OpenServer uses.

Real World FIND usage:
The original page is gone (also linked from Linux Today), but I found it again on web.archive.org. http://web.archive.org/web/20090426000044/http://www.wagoneers.com/UNIX/FIND/find-usage.html
Whenever I had a question about unix find syntax or needed an example, I'd reference this.
