If you like to read about linux, Rutebook is a very good source of 
information.  Link here: 
    http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz
It is also available in the ubuntu repositories, look for it in either the 
software store (I forget the exact name, I mostly use KDE) or in synaptic.  
Copy and paste this in a web browser to read it
    /usr/share/doc/rutebook/html/rute.html


Another good read for Ubuntu is the Ubuntu Pocket book. you can get it here:
    http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html  
or from any bittorrent app.


Of course there is always the ubuntu forums at 
    http://ubuntuforums.org/ 
and the ubuntu user mailing list 
    https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users


Lots and lots of good information there, should keep you busy for a while :)
