I don't know any comprehensive site. I usually look at the openssl manpages 
and google.

I suggest you to try the free certs at CACert. Even if they are not accepted 
by default in some (most?) browsers/clients, you'll learn how to deal with a 
real CA.
There are decent instructions in their wiki.

Most of the steps for making certs in Fedora are covered by the makefile in 
/etc/pki/tls/certs
so:
cd /etc/pki/tls/certs/
make

If you just want self signed certs, use "make testcert"

Hope this helps.
