Seriously. These forums and google has never - EVER - failed to help me solve a problem. As for books, there is the official Slackware book, which unfortunately isn't that hot. However, I definitely recommend "Running Linux". Great book.
Thanks, I'll check out that Running Linux book. I realize all the information I could ever want is available online, but I still prefer having a hard copy reference next to my desk.
Linux System Administration by Marcel Gagne is a kickass *nix book. It sounds intimidating, but it's not. It starts from the very beginning for the noob, and goes through a ton of topics to prepare you for seriously using Linux. The author has an entertaining style that makes it fun to read.
