What I do is give my students a brief description of each one. But all
my emphasis is put on sections (1), (5) and (8), the most used in system
administration tasks.

I found that, a hardest thing to teach them is "read before do
something", usually when my students broke something or they don't get
the expected results, just go to looking for documentation
