I found the LDP very helpful. A lot of the other online Howto's and such 
assume a level of knowledge whereas the LDP actually assumes no knowledge in 
many cases. And If you do have half an idea then you can just  skip ahead...
Plus its not necessary to  read start to finish before gaining some insight? 
Individual chapters are very subject specific.
I bought an older copy for about $20 but it's all online too.
