Managing a Cisco 2900 Switch?

Okay, I found a great deal on a 2924EN-XL 8MB with the latest IOS software and I got it on the network last night. ($150 from a guy 6 blocks away, still in the original box, perfect condition, with manuals, cords, etc.)

I figured out how to configure some things, like ntp and dns but what I would really like is some kind of guide to the basic management of it, common configuration stuff. Something that's not a tutorial, but like a large command reference or real-world how-to guides.

I've looked at hundreds of pages of Cisco's IOS documentation and it's just disgustingly organized and presented and there's no user feedback or suggestions, or common problems. So are there any good forums that are very active and have lots of searchable archives with info on a switch like this, or how-to guides, FAQ's, etc?

I've really done a lot of searching but haven't found that one great source of information that ties everything together.

Suggestions?
