 JD, let me add another resource to your bag of tricks.

On the Freenode IRC channels $ubuntu and ##linux you can also get help
and since IRC is interactive its a little more immediate.

The experience level there isn't at the same as the knowledge available from
the folks in this email list but its good enough for many many things.

If you don't know how to connect to IRC just ask us. :)
