I'd suggest you go to http://www.oreilly.com/ I have found the O'Reilly
books to be among the best for computer related subjects. For Linux,
one of the most helpful books I have found is Linux In A Nutshell. That
book is basically a command reference. It is most helpful to one that
has some experience with Linux - it is not a tutorial. For a tutorial I
have been told by many that Running Linux by Matt Walsh is very good.
O'Reilly also carries books on many other computer related subjects,
such as networking, programming, and many specific application packages,
covering Win9x, Win NT, as well as Unix and Unix-variants such as Linux.
Amazon.com carries most, if not all, of the different O'Reilly books.
They can also be gotten through most of the major chain bookstores.
For Linux web links, there's *lots* of them.
http://www.metalab.unc.edu/linux/ would be a good place to start. That
site is the home of the Linux Documentation Project (LDP). Browsing
through the LDP will uncover documents covering much of Linux, from what
hardware to get for a new linux box to installing and configuring a new
system, along with a lot more. Many of the LDP docs have good info that
is not Linux specific - for example some of the networking docs give
good primers on general networking, such as how IP addresses work.
Then there's sites such as :
www.linux.org
www.linux.com
www.linuxhq.com
www.kernelnotes.org
www.fsf.org
www.gnu.org
www.opensource.org
www.spi-inc.org
www.linuxberg.com
www.linuxjournal.org
www.linuxgazette.com
And then of course there are all the websites for each distrobution:
www.debian.org
www.slackware.com
www.caldera.com
www.redhat.com
www.suse.com
along with many more that I can't remember.
That should be enough to get you started - most of those sites in turn
link to many other sites.
