I was hoping not to pay anything...

Well, I have to say that TLDP has helped me out a hella lot. It's "the fucking manual" everybody refers to when helping people with Linux. And it doesn't cost a dime.

EDIT: also don't underestimate help forums like http://www.linuxiso.org/forums  ;)

Worker's got the right idea.

Hit up your local libraries. If you're in college, get books from the university library

I guess I am doing alright in Linux, because I almost killed myself reading the beginner's course at linux.org.  Like reading "Windows 95 for Dummies".

The books I keep right next to my computer at work:
"Unix: In a Nutshell" (O'Reilly with a lemur or something)
"Learning the Unix Operating System" (O'Reilly with an owl)
"Learning the bash Shell" (O'Reilly with a fish)
"Using csh & tcsh" (O'Reilly with a duck)

As you can see, O'Reilly is pretty good.  There's Linux specific books out there, but they tend to be distro-specific.  Learn the basics and hack away.
