askubuntu.com (a part of the StackExchange network) is a good place to ask Ubuntu-related questions. Heck, the whole StackExchange sites are wonderful. I myself frequent StackOverflow (where I answer bash questions), ServerFault (mostly answering iptables questions), and SuperUser (where I ask questions). My handle in StackExchange is pepoluan.
