    Linux Reference sites

    I was thinking about one of the hardest things with linux sometimes (especially when starting) can be finding reliable sites to get information on. Even for something straight forward can be a nightware when you can't find the right resource.

    So I think why not put together a list to have on the forums of reliable sites to look at.

    Manuals almost anything are you think of
    Few free ebooks and documentationGreat place to learn about distros and linux news
    68 Free Ebooks
    More free e-books
    Thats all I can think of for the moment.
    Add anything else you can think of.

    True, and I've found lots of information in the Gentoo wiki that can be used for most any distro.
