Some of the best Linux documentation can be found at the Linux Documentation Project http://tldp.org/
Almost all of their documentation is very old, and sometimes downright ancient. Many of their howtos haven't been updated in 10 years or more. I wouldn't recommend them for anything current. They do have some guides which look pretty good, but be very careful. Look at when they were last updated as they are often old and outdated as well. For example, many documents still refer to the 2.0 kernel series.
and specific questions are asked and answered at http://linuxquestions.org/
I found that site rather confusing and not very accessible. It's good for searching though. Not all questions actually get answered, especially if a similar question has already been asked.
The Arch wiki also has extremely good general documentation, even if you don't use Arch Linux. Many other distros have their own wiki and other documentation as well.
Yes, but you're stuck trying to search the wikis for the phrase which might or might not find the right page. For example, help.ubuntu.com is a great wiki resource and has hundreds of pages, but I couldn't find what I wanted because there were too many hits. I was trying to set up KVM and got hits for each version of the server documentation, plus some howto articles, plus general info pages. I gave up more confused than when I started. The Debian wiki seems a little better, but remember that a wiki is not official documentation.
