Not a total n00b

[bodhi3]

I am new here and generally new to Ubuntu as the last version I used was feisty and I pretty much lost contact with the linux community for one reason or another. I only used Ubuntu for around 3 months, but when I got my new laptop today it came with Ubuntu pre-loaded and I decided to not load WIndows back onto it as I do not know windows very well either and I loathe anything windows. So it looks like I am going ot be learning Ubuntu very quickly. I am going to be reading as much as I can in the months to come because I also got a very small scale IT job about a week ago with a very small 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. At any rate I just wanted to say hello and ask if there are any websites that you have found especially helpful (other than this one)?

Thank you and have a wonderful day.

I'm also a n00b, whatever. Personally, I like these two websites.
Tecmint (no h) http://www.tecmint.com/
nixCraft - http://www.cyberciti.biz/

Also follow its twitter - https://twitter.com/nixcraft

Documentations are pretty good.
Ubuntu Help - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommunityHelpWiki
Fedora Documentation (also read the docs for the past releases, the gold is there)
OpenSUSE Documentation
Arch Wiki

Recently, there is a website called Linux Padawan. (from Ubuntu contributors)
http://linuxpadawan.net/welcome-to-linux-padawans-blog/

If you have lots of time, you can watch Youtube videos from theurbanpenguin.
He teaches at pluralsight.

Ubuntu manual in my signature and the free book at linuxcommandline.org

you should install one in virtualbox to play arround with it. safely see what you can do with it. setup some webserver etc..

For me http://www.webupd8.org/ wins hands down, the author writes articles about new/ unusual/ useful software for Ubuntu & Linux generally. Great community.

EDIT: it's more beginner friendly than tecmint (i'm no developer, just a happy ubuntu user :D )

Welcome back!

Command Line Learning Resources (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandLineResources) (from a thread that was started here, that is now an Ubuntu Official Community Documentation page)

Some Searching URL links:

Ubuntu Manuals (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/) (man pages made into an HTML, web-browsable format)

Ubuntu Most Popular Pages (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PopularPages)

Ubuntu Word Index (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WordIndex) (can take a while to load)

Googlubuntu (http://www.googlubuntu.com/) (a search engine including Ubuntu and it's official variants, and I think also askubuntu.com)

Uduck (http://www.uduck.org/) (another search engine with Ubuntu and DuckDuckGo)

Ask Ubuntu (http://askubuntu.com/) (a quick ask and answer site, that can be searched for topics)

Enjoy!
