The HowTos and other documents are probably on your Linux CD. Slackware (the
distribution I'm most familiar with) includes them both in immediately
readable form (in /Docs) and in a package that gets installed at the user's
option (disk series F, installing in /usr/doc). I'm sure all the other
distributions do something similar.

You can also find them online. The central reppsitory is the Linux
Documentation Project at metalab (formerly sunsite), URL
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/ . Some docs aren't there, but I haven;t found
any single site that's more comprehensive. The biggest gaps are in X11
coverage; for that, turn to URL http://www.xfree86.org/ .

Though there's no archive of this list (at least none that I know of), there
is a nice "newbie FAQ" that summarizes a lot of its collected wisdom. Try URL 
http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs for this.
