Just about everything regarding Ubuntu is located there, with helpful
beginner guides. You can also search in the same manner as you would on
Google (the site actually uses a private google search engine).
For example, if I search for '.deb files' I find:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware
and that will give you a very good overview of how to install software.
