alt.os.linux.slackware specifically deals with Slackware.
The comp.os.linux.* hierarchy is also good.

Hmm, not that I'm aware of.

Oh, well, scrap the usenet stuff I mentioned above..
In Slackware, look under /usr/doc/faq/howto (or maybe it's
/usr/doc/faq/howtos - been a long time since I looked at a Slackware
installation. The whole /usr/doc tree is a good place to start, in any
event. Which presumes you installed the documentation.

Well, if you can get to the Internet somehow, www.linux.org, www.linuxhq.org
and slashdot.org are all good web sites with loads of information.
My recommendation is a book such as _Running Linux_, _Linux in a Nutshell_ or
even _Linux for Dummies_ (if you can tolerate it).
