Anyone have a good website to teach a noob how to use linux?
I have been using Windows all my life, and now want to try linux. I have a distro already installed on my laptop. I’m using DSL (Damn Small Linux) and I am looking for a good website to teach me the basics of Linux

If you are brand new, try Ubuntu Linux; it’s meant for newer users, but also has power behind it.
Once you get better at Linux, take a stab at compiling Gentoo; this is the distribution I use, and I love it.
Ubuntu installs clean like a windows installer, you don’t really need much linux knowledge as far as I know.
Edit: Oops, didn’t read the question right.
Try http://www.linuxlots.com/~jam/guide4.html for a general guide, and http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Command_Reference for a command reference.

Linux is all about the shell. Once you learn the basic commands, you are up and running along.
