My favorite free on-line reference for general Linux knowledge is currently
the original edition of "The Linux Cookbook", by Michael Stutz.  Here is the
link:

   http://dsl.org/cookbook/cookbook_toc.html

There is a greatly expanded second edition of the book, which is more
comprehensive, but it is not free.  You have to pay for it.
Others, I'm sure, will have other ideas.
