There is usually extensive documentation in the form of "man pages". From a console (terminal) type man the name of the package or function you want to know about
Also, you might consider buying a "Linux for Dummies" book. no, I am not calling you a dummy. It's just that they provide a very basic format and tend to add enough humor that the reading is not so painful. There may even be a Vectorlinux specific book.
Finally, you may want to go with a more user friendly flavor of Linux. I recommend Mandrake, as it has excellent hardware support, and many good software packages prebuilt for it. It has a SUPER easy install and a GUI tool for just about everything from ACPI configuration to ZIP archives.

I use Fedora Core - It is easy to use. You do not have to be a command line expert to use it as the graphic KDE or Gnome options are straight foreward to use.
