I have no experience with CAD before geda (gschem, pcb, etc.) but I started with these:

http://www.radioam.net/~sp9rve/geda/ (introduction and more links)

http://www.geda.seul.org/ (gEDA home)

http://www.geda.seul.org/links.html (gEDA links)

http://web.wt.net/~billw/gsch2pcb/tutorial.html (do this tutorial)

http://www-mtl.mit.edu/~mcmahill/PCB/gEDA-PCB.html (do this tutorial too)

http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/~haceaton/pcb/pcb-1.6.3/doc.ps/index.html (pcb docs)

http://pcb.sourceforge.net/ (pcb home)

http://www.mail-archive.com/geda-user@seul.org/ (searchable mail list archive)

Install geda-docs. Then load share/doc/geda-docs-<date_string>/gedadocs.html
with your browser if you installed from rpm. I don't know about cvs.

Think about installing pcb from cvs as the documentation is more current. In the
cvs tree, see pcb/doc/pcb/index.html.
