I started using linux in January this year, and for me, the only linux bedtime 
reading is 'LInux Format'. Good articles for beginners, and those in the 
middle, and written by the gurus :) And this group has also been a great help 
to me too, helped me solve little problems that were bugging me. I've also 
joined my local LUG, and get email support through them, and also received 
some surplus kit which helped me out too :)

So you're in the right place, google for answers, ask here and in the 
newsgroup for your distro too. And if you find a particular program that you 
really like, email the programmer and tell them, likewise if you're having 
problems with it. Invariably they email you back with a fix or a patch, as 
they appreciate people using their program.

Sorry, got a bit off the topic of the email there :)

Sharon.
