I don't know that there are any "beginner" sites, but you can check out the following sites:

- Apple's own "switch" site
- Great forums at Mac Addict
- Ditto for Macworld
- Apple's OS X Download site
- OS X Hints has a lot of info, though it can be esoteric at times.

Hope this helps. If you have any questions, or if there is anything I can do to help, let me know.

Juan
