All of the above.
I would also recommend finding and joining a Linux User Group in your
area. The LUG in my area (Jacksonville, Florida) is VERY good. Many of
us bring our machines to the LUG for the Wizards to look at/fix.
As for books, I find the 'dummies' series a bit too patronising. I like
"Using Linux" by Jack Tackett Jr. and Steven Burnett. It is published
by QUE (Excellent books!). Well worth the money.
