ok, here goes:
http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/rhel-sbs-en-4/
this is the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Step By Step Guide; it's a
reasonably good start for a newbie. i'd recommend reading all of it
rather than trying to pick out bits and pieces.
if you'd like to print it out for offline reading, a PDF version is
available here:
http://www.centos.org/docs/4/pdf/rhel-sbs-en.pdf
once you're done with those, consider perusing the System
Administration Guide and/or the Reference Guide, or read those books
i recommended earlier. more general documentation is available at
the Linux documentation Project:
http://www.tldp.org/
but at a bare minimum, read the Step By Step Guide. then come back
with questions. :)
