I always point new users to our research group to the linux cookbook:
http://dsl.org/cookbook/cookbook_toc.html
We do almost all of our work on Linux and we get users who have little
to no experience in that area. This resource is great for them. A
little out of date but most of it is still applicable.

I am a longtime (~10 years) Windows tinkerer, but just got into Linux
in the past year, specifically for the purpose of setting up MythTV
(which, simply put, rocks). I have it working, thanks to Jarod's
fantastic guide. However, 90% of the commands I entered on faith,
without any clue what I was doing.
Are there any good resources that people can recommend for learning
about the architecture of the linux system? I'm not looking for a
white paper, but just a general idea of how it treats hard drives
(e.g., having to mount everything), peripherals (e.g., video capture
cards), etc. along with some of the common commands that are used to
manipulate system resources (e.g., depmod, modprobe, lspci, dmesg, etc.).
Any resources are greatly appreciated. I don't mind doing heavy
lifting - if I can, I would be willing to put together a mini-FAQ for
other nubies. I can't imagine I am the only one.
Thanks,
Zak
