There are a LOT of bits of information on the web. However, not all are well written or well supportive to the newbie. Some are even very out of date, which in some cases means wrong about how things work now. When a newbie asks this question they are looking for guidance on the best available material. I know that this is a somewhat loaded question, but there are several places that we all use. I haven't checked lately, but I know for example that Fedora had some tutorials started, and that we have discussed this issue before, as I stated earlier, though things change. What was the best is now a bit long in the tooth. Maybe we need somewhere to collect the current "best available" list of documentation and training. Unfortunately I don't know how to implement that, but I know that it is an issue. With paper books, they had copyright dates, and often the preface told which software version they addressed, and I would often refer to those bits to see if the data was accurate and up to date. But many on line documents seem to leave that out. So how does one go about checking what is the best sources for training and reference material?
