Hi Rich and welcome to the world of Penguin Power!

Here's only one of many 'getting started' type sites:

http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/cookbook/

Of course, there's *LOTS* of good stuff at the Linux Documentation Project:

http://www.tldp.org

one of their offerings is:

Linux Administration Made Easy

http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lame/LAME/linux-admin-made-easy/

Redhat has some good stuff on their site too:

http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/

scroll down to the 'Quick Help' section

also - feel free to email direct. I'm no guru by any means, but have 
been playing with this joy toy for 'bout 4 years now
