There are a few howtos for which there is no substitute anywhere else.
It's true that you can always look up the manual or other documentation
on the main site, but these howtos pretty much directly provide the
infromation (in an easy-to-understand language) instead of going through
a long man page. Top of my head I refer to these howtos as the main
source for the particular topics.
*) Program Library HOWTO
*) Advanced Bash Scripting Guide
*) NFS-howto
*) NIS-howto
*) Text-Terminal-HOWTO
That said, there are many howtos that are just out-of-date and need a
major overhaul.
