one or in the community sites for each distro. A good one for Linux in
general is Linuxquestions.org. Most Linux users are caring and
helpful. Some can be a bit elitist and you may encounter a few with an
attitude, but for the most part the Linux community is great.

I'm with Roy on this one. My experience with Fedora (7 & 8) was that
the frequent kernel updates (every two-three months) routinely broke
necessary, manually applied module tweaks, and that all too often,
their fixes/patches tended to break something else, which then needed
to be fixed in turn. And then, by the time they get everything worked
out, a year has gone by, they push out a new full-version release,
which starts the whole patch-break-patch process over. More hassle
than it's worth.
