I don't think I've ever actually answered anyone on this particular
mailing list before. I have read the rules so hopefully this is
relatively error free.

I'm fond of these books; The Linux Bible. Linux in a Nutshell, Linux
System Administration, and (believe it or not) Linux All-in-One for
Dummies. I've got copies of all of them and have found them useful
even today. They make great "spare time" reading.

I think all of the ones that I've mentioned are in dead-tree format or
electronic format. I do not have them to-hand right now. I don't
recall them being expensive, for what they were, so you can probably
find them used at your favorite book-selling site.

The other is just learning to search effectively. Throw in Ubuntu or
Linux in your search terms and see what pops out. I have a special
Google account (I know, I know) that I use. It is one that I
specifically set for them to track my searches and refine my results.
It works. I don't use it all the time and I keep their scripts and
cookies locked down with a browser extension.

Rather than direct you to a specific site, I'd just try a bunch of
them. Eventually, you'll find one that suits your style and has the
information you're looking for. There are some good forums, for
example. There are some not-quite-so-good forums and you'll have to
find those on your own as I'm disinclined to pass judgment.

seen anything about that.)
