So, given the number of under/unemployed persons here, this sounds like a nice 
little opportunity. I'd love to lend a hand, but commuting from Eastern 
Oregon is a bit much. :)

Have you looked at the manuals that come with Red Hat? I think they are very 
good. Hard copies come with the boxed sets, and also the complete set is 
available somewheres on redhat.com. I recommend starting there. As Ed pointed 
out, Red Hat does things their own way, so starting with the RH manuals will 
get you up and running faster than anything else.

Red Hat has a habit of changing things with every release, so you really want 
the manuals for your specific release.

Another thing to keep in mind is most of the software is third-party, such as 
the window managers & desktop environments. The RH manuals will help some 
with those, for deeper knowledge visit their various web sites. Sign up for 
support lists wherever you can, for example KDE has its own lists, you'll get 
better help there than on a general list like PLUG.
