just adding to the already excellent suggestions made here by Chris and 
others, really.
Most distros allow you to read their documentation online, just as Debian does 
RedHat (and by extension Fedora)
http://www.redhat.com/docs
http://www.fedora.redhat.com/docs
as are SuSE/Novell
http://www.novell.com/documentation/suse92/index.html
and Mandrake:
http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/fdoc.php3

there are also many linux-specific FAQ-type websites out there
http://www.linuxquestions.org
http://linux.about.com/library/bl/open/newbie/blnewbie_toc.htm
http://linux-newbie.sunsite.dk/
http://www.tuxfiles.org/
http://www.fedorafaq.org

there are other distro-specific mailing lists, a bit like this one out there 
too. check the main distro websites for more information.
Some of them are incredibly high-traffic lists, however.
the RH ones are at
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/
debian and other distros have similar things...

Regards

Stuart
