The LDP is at http://www.linuxdoc.org. There's also some content
available at the Open Source Writers Group, http://www.oswg.org.
This might sound odd, but I find that the fastest way to learn new Linux
stuff is to try documenting it. Start by using available docs, but then
branch out a bit -- explore areas that aren't covered by the available
docs, write down all the fiddly-bits and details, etc.
You don't have to worry about having anyone read your docs, but if you
keep a notebook of all the stuff you learn, it makes for a handy
reference later on. I've got an old beat up notebook that has all the
installation details from the first time I installed Red Hat, the first
time I tried to use tar to do anything useful, the first time I used the
font server to do True Type fonts, etc.
I still go back to it sometimes :)
