Is there an easy to follow "howto" for normal LVM administration tasks. I get tired of googling every-time I have to do something I don't remember how to do regarding LVM, so I usually just don't bother with it at all.
I believe it has some benefit for my use cases, but I've been reticent to use it, since the last time I got LVM problems, I lost everything on the volume, and had to restore from backups anyway. I suspect I shot myself in the foot, but I still don't know for sure.
At the risk of some ridicule I suggest that you look at installing Webmin. It is a web based system administration tool that I find invaluable. The two most common complaints I encounter when I discuss its merits are 'security' and 'transparency'.

You missed one: man man.
It is 'presumed' that one has learned the man command itself and never ever need to do a 'man man' :-). From there all other knowledge flows...
