I'm prone to Linux and open source zealotry in general-- see this thread
I agree: ubuntu forums is a pretty good source of advice. My main advice if people ever ask for it is "don't be afraid of the command line". There are lots of gui tools now which make some tasks easier but if you really want to make it sing a command line is great: try changing the permissions on all the files in a directory with names matching a certain pattern with a file manager gui.
