info

info will display longer tutorials about some utilties. Most of the basic commands like cat, cd, are in there as well.

FWIW - if you know some MS-DOS commands, several are based on unix, so you can do basic things just with that knowledge.

www.tldp.org

The Linux Documentation Project - Contains a wealth of guides and howtos.

There is a mirror of this website (even though it will be out of date) bundled with many distros and a load of documentation can usually be found under /usr/share/doc
