New to Linux

Is there anywhere where someone like me that is new to Linux/Fedora can as
the elementary questions about the OS? I have worked with the WinTel world
for many years, but am now shifting my attention to the Linux systems.

I have a FC4 release on a test machine as of now. But am having some
strange problems with devices like the CD-RW and Floppy drives. I am also
having problems downloading disk three (3) of the RC6 i386 ISO set from the
project.

I could really use someplace to drop questions and not be ignored or flamed
for dumb questions.

Thanks

Greg
