Another useful one I love is the Internet FAQ Consortium.
http://www.faqs.org
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/
Searchable and fast. I think rtfm.mit.edu has more FAQs on it. I'm
sure there's some missing from www.faqs.org. But I've always found
the RFCs I was interested in on there.
On the subject of rtfm: a friend of mine put an entry for 'man rtfm'
on a system he was responsible for. It was a "how to use the man
pages" piece aimed at people who wouldn't understand 'man man'.
I don't think he can be the only person who did that :)
