Run `info coreutils` and get a general sense of the tools available. There are things you'll use all the time like sort, uniq and wc. Things you'll use occasionally (`foo | column -s $'\t' -t` reads all the lines of standard input, splits each on a tab and then lines everything up in nice columns) and things you might rarely need, but when you need them they're amazing: tsort, for example, is really useful for managing dependencies in certain circumstances.
