Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Curious how to get my volume buttons working, and also how to get into sleep mode.

That is dependent on the hardware that you are using. Usually you will need some sort of acpi user-space tool to control them. You can use acpid but it requires you do work and figure out what signal acpi is throwing out. Dependent on the distro that you are using it can be done several ways but the only way I am familiar with is using acpid.
