There are quite a few out there, thats why I am asking for some recommendations. I am looking for some good linux podcasts/websites that are for beginners making the switch to using Linux as their primary OS.

I ve been encountering some basic doubts that were solved by googling, but it sure would be nice to know things in a structured fashion so that I know the generalities of the best-practices, gotchas etc and can figure out the specifics.

Checkout theses very good podcasts from JupiterBroadcasting ^[1] :

Linux Action Show ^[2] : about new Linux stuff, interviews (Mark Shuttleworth, CrossOver's CEO, Linspire's CEO...) and more
In Depth Look ^[3] : in depth on a specific topic, like VirtualBox or security tools
The Big Story & News Update ^[4] : short podcast about news in the Linux world

They are very fun to listen, so enjoy !

Also, IBM provides good podcasts on the IBM Linux Technology Center Podcast ^[5].
