It depends on what you ask, and what sort of info you have. If your question shows that you have done your homework via Google and the FAQ/handbook/etc, you should be OK. A question along the lines of "How do I learn X?" is much better received than "How do I do X?" Most people will happily point you to the appropriate book.
