The suggestions provided by others already are great and I don't mean to beat a dead horse. If you really want a straight up list for *your* system, just `ls' /sbin, /bin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/bin. Then you can pop open man as something in the list interests you.
Secondly, as has been mentioned already, a Unix reference will likely be of help. It won't cover package management or configuring hardware, because that is vendor and architecture specific. Still, there is a lot to chew on. Even old Unix books that you can get at used book stores or the library are a fun read. I have one published in 1982 and the first commands it mentions are `ed' and `troff'. Just about everything in a book published 25 years ago is applicable to Debian. You'll gain exposure to technologies that have gone out of favor like UUCP.
