online resources:

AoA
/.*google.*/

and last but far from least:

Nice list. Got links?

[maccorin]

for the online resources:
http://www.intel.com <--- there are many resources there
AoA is at http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AoA/Linux/
and google.... http://google.com/linux

Another good source of online documentation is http://www.gnu.org
and of course: http://www.tldp.org

The others are books, not web-pages

Can't forget The Linux Cookbook!

When I was learning how to use Linux a few years ago TLC was _invaluable_ to me. I think all newbies that don't have a *nix background should have a copy; there's a minimum of wordy bullshit and a maximum of concise, helpful descriptions and good examples of commands. Man pages are meant to be used as references by people who already more or less know what they're doing; TLC is designed to *teach* people how to use Linux.

I also have to recommend Oreilly's perl book (the camel one). Perl comes in extremely handy for automating that redundant task... (ever had to #define about 300-500 constants based on data that you could easily regex out of a txt file if you knew how?... it gets boring ;p)
