I put in several categories of fortune cookies for this page. I would recommend keeping the ratio of "real" tips (ala, New User Tips and Power User Tips) to "fake" tips (ala, Quotes and Jokes) at around 4:1

New User Tips

Here are few hints for new users, or users that don't like to read the manual:

• Hint: you can search for multiple words, just like Google. See also HelpOnSearching.

• Our UserGuide has lots of information on using the systems at CIS.

• The FrequentlyAskedQuestions page is the next place to look after checking our UserGuide.

• Look it up before you ask :).

Power User Tips

• Using chmod -R a+rX is a quick way to make sure that an entire directory tree in your home directory is accessible to the world.

Wise Quotes

None yet, I didn't have enough "real" tips to keep the ratio.

Humor

• How many people can read hex if only you and dead people can read hex? 57006.
