I know a lot of you have been using Linux for quite a while, and others are new to the game, like me. But what do you think is the best source of information that is up-to-date with Linux. How did you learn? I'm personally interested in Slackware. I have the Linux bible I read from time to time, and also an official guide to Slackware (but it covers 10.0 and not 12.2). I was looking at Slackware for dummies at Barnes-n-Noble but that was printed in 2000.
A lot of information I come across is behind the times so to speak.
Where can I go to grab good information for a beginner, because nobody I know at home uses Slackware, which I think is a shame.

I have a hard time sleeping because I am now obsessed with Linux, and I want my computer to be under my control once and for all.

Welcome to LinuxQuestions! You can find the slackbook here.
http://www.slackbook.org/

Ask in the Slackware fourm or this one if you run into trouble.

Check the slackware links wiki in my sig, it has plenty of useful links.

www.penguintutor.com might be of use...

As might:
http://linuxnewbieguide.org/
which can be downloaded in .pdf format also.
Best of luck!

WOW!!!
Countless years have been added to my life because of wasted research I would have done. Thanks a bunch!!!
I'm keeping all of these websites in my bookmark, and I am well on my road to helping others for success in the near future.

Keep them coming if you have more. I'm working up a good collection here.

I don't want to pick any favorites as of yet because I'm sure it will change with experience.

Many many people will agree with me when i say google google google. you can also get help with TONS onf programs by joining their IRC channel on freenode
