It seems that each distro has it's own forums, and most projects have their own forums or mailing lists, and then there are some general sites like linuxquestions.org (or google.com/linux).
My first response is to lament the rise of such one-site-only, non-standard forums at the expense of categorised, distributed, standard-protocol Usenet forums. It does contribute to the problem of knowing where to start.
These are great for you and I
I find them far inferior to Usenet, myself, and am very glad for the huge wealth of such forums standardised in access by the NNTP interface of the Gmane service.
