There are quite a few folks here that have put together and contribute 
frequently asked questions to a, well, FAQ site:

For more specific issues, googlefying or monitoring this list are 
probably the best ways to get info. As recurring topics come up, a lot 
of folks here contribute an article that one of the "contributing 
editors" on the FAQ are happy to post.

Just an extra hint on the sound issue, if you pop open your 
'/etc/rc.local' file, as root, with your fave text editor (vi, pico, 
emacs...) and add the line:
	modprobe dmasound_pmac
Then you shouldn't really need to worry about it in the future. That 
will make sure that the sound mods will load after everything else has 
loaded up.

g'luck and welcome to the world of the pale puppy.
