I would start with Fedora Core 4. It is pretty intuitive for a beginner.

Websites? You can google appropriate websites. In fact, Google even has its
own separate search engine for Linux: http://www.google.com/linux

As for books, there is enough on-line/on-disk/web-based documentation that I
would hold off on any book-buying decisions until you are sure you can't get
the info you want. I find that the books I end up buying most of are
language-based books, such as BASH or Perl. I have books on Linux, but
because the on-line docs are more plentiful, cheaper, and more up-to-date,
those books tend to gather dust.
