The "learn the basics" link doesn't go anywhere.
Whenever I tell somebody about "cd", I also point out that they don't need to type the whole directory name -- they can type just enough to uniquely identify the directory and then hit to have the shell autocomplete the path. Maybe that's mentioned in the "learn the basics" page -- I don't know.

One of the things that I really like about OSX is that under the hood, you have UNIX. Just pick up a UNIX manual and you're pretty much good to go. Or use the man command to access the online manual available from OSX. For example, to learn about the ls command, type man ls at the prompt in terminal, and you get a description of all of the options.
I would be a bit worried if my OSX admin was not familiar with this information. I would expect a more detailed discussion of the specific directories that are important to admins (and some users), like the UNIX concept of devices or the Applications directory and what an app really is in OSX. You should continue this discussion further to really benefit the admins.
