You'll find help here on Unix, Apache, and so on, but most specifically 
Linux.  If you're running FreeBSD you might look for a FreeBSD list (you 
might find help here anyway, but it may not be as reliable or direct for 
FreeBSD).

Hmm...  Mentoring (and training for new Linux users) is something I'm 
interested in.  I've found a 36 hour curriculum but assume that for 
casual users there isn't much interest in paying for that.  So getting 
good space and hardware are a problem.

Installfest would be a good place for you to meet people and get help. 
We don't do them very often though.  You could also check out the study 
group (http://clue.denver.co.us/studygroup.html) which is evolving into 
a hacking society.  I try to be there and could talk to you more about 
mentoring.

You can also look at the other area hacking societies, maybe they are 
more convenient (http://www.hackingsociety.org/).

Finally there's Linux FUN-da-mentals (http://thegeek.nu/LinuxFun.htm). 
They do teaching topics on basic Linux use.  The link seems down at the 
moment and they don't meet completely regularly but you can subscribe to 
their list at http://mailman.thegeek.nu/mailman/listinfo/linuxfun.
