Dave,

Perhaps one of the most complete linux references is the linux documentation
project www.tldp.org.  It has howto's, gudes, facs, and man pages for just
about anything you would want to do with linux.  I recommend browsing
through the howto's.  There are many great articles that will help you get
your feet wet.  It may take a little time to get used to all the jargon, but
don't get discouraged, once you have the basics down everything else will
come much quicker.

Brian.
