Stupid Eee PC overheating everytime Linux runs on it (that's right, it doesn't even need to be installed, run it live and it will overheat to the point of resetting the BIOS )
Actually next thing I want to do is to make my terminal all funky! Then hack a Gibson ...
Aah, here's what mine looks like now. Go to profile preferences and you'll find a tab with transparency in it. You can also remove the menu bar and scrollbar if you want to keep it minimal.
I don't know, I've installed it on the pc upstairs. The installation on the laptop doesn't connect to the tinterwebs yet so I haven't played with it much!

If you have Compiz installed, you can add a Gaussian blur. I find the transparency on its own can be distracting, but with the blur it's reasonably nice.
If you concerned about battery usage then you should install "powertop" which is a commandline tool which tells you which bits of software is eating your electrons more than others. It's quite cool.
/bin - programs required for booting the system
/sbin - same as /bin but for programs run as root, not user
/usr - stuff installed by package managers usually goes into here
/usr/local - stuff installed locally by user
It's probably easier to just randomly search through the filesystem and google anything that you don't know. Many files in /etc have their own manpages to explain what they do.
If you're learning terminal stuff, get to know a console text-editor (vim/emacs/nano) well (vimtutor), and also the standard cmdline/bash utilities.
