One of my favorite features of FreeBSD/CShell is that you can start typing a command and use the up/down arrows to cycle through previous commands which contain the characters you've already typed. Well as it turns out you can do the same thing with Bash.
Edit ~/.inputrc and add the following lines:
"\e[A": history-search-backward "\e[B": history-search-forward
Or leave the the arrow keys alone and bind them to the PgUp/PgDn keys.
"\e[5~": history-search-backward "\e[6~": history-search-forward
