Learning More About Linux?

teh moges asks: "From an administrator point of view, I know a lot about Microsoft Windows: where files are stored, where settings are, which registry keys to edit, how to change drivers, and so on. I made the initial switch to Linux a year ago. I now feel capable enough with using Linux, from an end user's point of view, so that when things go wrong, I can fix them. I now want to become even more familiar with Linux. Are there any great resources, such as websites, wikis or books for someone that wants to find out exactly how Linux works and how to fix and modify it?"

    I dont have one magic answer.
    Forums are good for getting and sharing information on specific problems as long as the "google it yourself" crowd havent invaded. (how else would you have found the forum?). http://www.linuxquestions.org/ is a good start.
    There are varias wiki's specific to certian subjects.
    And I dont mean to sound rude with this, but please read the man page first. Weather or not you understand it at the time.

    On a side note the best way I have found to learn about something is to break it first. but maybe thats just me.
