I'm also new to all that terminal using.
Don't forget:
-Clear (Clears the screen)
-mkdir (Make Directory)
-Echo (Simple text echo)
-PWD (Present working directory)
-Wget (Gets files from website)
-cal (Displays a calendar)
-ftp (Terminal acts as an FTP program)

For debian and Ubuntu users there is a nice list here: Basic Linux Commands With Man Pages

Oh and the most important if you do an alt crap f1... EXIT!
