Hi! Very soon I will be switching from 9.2 to Panther. I was wondering if anyone has some good websites i could go to that has a tutorial sort of thing for me to learn how to do things on OS X. I can't find any books so websites would be good. I need to be productive on OSX straight away, thats all.
Help is much appreciated,

You can't find any books? There's about a hundred.

But for your situation, the most useful might be:

Also highly recommended is the "MacOS X: The missing manual" series by David Pogue.

If you don't have it already, sign up for the free 60 day trial of .Mac - they have a learning centre with descriptions and films of how to do the basics etc in OS X and various Apple apps. You can watch them now before you get your new mac.

How long ago did you have the trial? The learning centre is a relatively new thing (about a year old I think). If they don't give you access during the trial... well that is pretty poor form on Apple's part.
