No I don't, but something that might be helpful, and for some reason a lot of people don't seem to know about it, is the apropos command.

Y'know how everyone always starts teaching UNIX by teaching the MAN command? Well, the man command is only helpful if you already know the name of the command you want to learn.

apropos will help you figure out the name of the command you want to learn.

Try 'apropos network'

It will give you a list of commands related to networking, and a quick summary of what they all do.
