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?"

    this is the linux doc proj the one place i found indispensable while learning slackware back in the day

    lately http://www.debuntu.com/ is a god send as well

    and of course , unlike windows software, most linux software readme files are actually filled with useful information

    othjer than that either a quick google on a specific question or jump onto irc will usually get you some help
