There were a few new tricks in there that I didn't know of, like joining two screen sessions together and looking at /dev/vtc1. Nice article.
Yeah, I printed it out into a PDF to keep handy, very nice indeed.
The 'print to PDF' is a wonderful trick too by the way, just managed that in CUPS.
ibm makes a pdf available as a link on the page the article links to.
They've been doing this for a few years. You can even get copies of their mainframe manuals as pdfs!
The IBM green card isn't green and it isn't a card any more: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/sa227209.pdf
but it is available in pdf format.

Yeah, I love cups-pdf.
I don't need it often, but it's great when I do.
I'm even using it at the school office so the secretary can print. Win98 virtualbox session that of course can't see the shiny new printer on the vista host. So I setup cups-pdf on the server and pointed the virtual machine to that. She thinks it's pretty cool. On an odd note: When win98 prints to it using the hp lj5 ps driver, it prints in color....(of course they apparently "fixed" that glitch in some later windows version).

cups is getting better with each release.
