Here are some popular ones:
Control-Alt-F1: Switch to the first terminal. There are actually 6 terminals, so you can press control-alt-F1 all the way to control-alt-F6. This can be very handy! I?ve used it to get out of a jam several times. Especially if your system crashes when X tries to startup. You can always fall back on this terminal.
Control-Alt-F7: Switch back to the GUI.
Shift Page-UP: If you are in a terminal, this command will scroll the terminal output. Have you ever typed a command in, and gotten a ton of output, and wanted to scroll up to see all of the output, but you couldn?t because you weren?t using X? This shortcut makes that all possible, and it is especially useful when the computer first boots. You can scroll up to see the boot messages, and errors.
Control-Alt-[+]: This command will up the resolution on your X server. Way faster than opening up a resolution manager.
Control-Alt-[-]: This command will down the resolution on your X server. Great if you have it hooked up to a TV.
Control-Alt-Backspace: This command kills the current X-server. It?s great if X crashes. In some distributions, this will automatically restart X as well.
Control-Alt-delete: This starts up the system?s normal reboot process. It?s way better than hitting the restart button, and is more convenient than finding the restart button in X.
Control-Z: Send the current process to the background. This handy shortcut can let you do other things in the terminal, while the program you just executed is still running.
Control-C: Just like in DOS, this will kill the current process in the terminal.
