Can you rephrase that stanza? I don't get it :-?

What values are you exactly referring to? Each program/service has their 
owns.

There are various cheet sheet for specific issues (networking commands, 
package manager, some applications...) but I can't recall one big-cheet-
sheet that covers all the possibilities. You can, however, google for 
"linux cheet sheet" there has to be plenty of them :-)

In addition, Debian has this nice reference card:

And a good set of docs:
