I don't have any myself, but I know that Unix Guru Universe had a 
tip-of-day mail that I used to subscribe to, but after a while (a year 
or so) they started repeating the same tips quite often ... have a look 
if you want http://www.ugu.com/sui/ugu/show?tip.today

Unix Power Tools by Peek, O'Reilly and Loukides also provides such 
things. It is quite substantial, but it did come with a hefty price tag 
AU$140 about 4 years ago.

Kind Regards,
