Huh? The very first line in a google advanced search using "linux
beginner user" returned this site.

www.reallylinux.com - Website for Linux Beginners

And I assure you there are lots more.

Ok. Also, your own machine may have a lot to help you. Start
browsing /usr/share doc.

Do "man bash".   # No quotes needed

Do ls on /bin and /usr/bin and pick some interesting looking files
(often intro is pretty good place to start) and do

"man <whatever-you-found-interesting>"   # no quotes
