linux novice

I have just successfully installed Slackware 3.4 for the first time.
Whew !
As a Linux novice there were so many hurdles.

Now I'm here running X, but without much knowledge as to how to run the OS as I
do W95 or NT.

Can anyone recommend a site with Linux docs on how to do things like
fine tune X Windows
fix my ide driver so that I can use the CDROM
see the contents of my Linux partition (the xmanager I have shows "root" as the
only directory)
........
Thanks if you've got the time.

I am willing to share with anyone trying to install Linux.
