IMHO embedded Linux is now not that much different to Linux desktop
systems. I have worked with Linux for many years and it is refreshing
that embedded silicon has now become powerful enough to run a full
fledged Linux system rather than stripped down systems such as uCLinux.
My suggestion is to become familiar with the basics of *nix. Once those
are learned, then the transition to the embedded Linux world should be
relatively painless.
Just my 2 cents,
Dave.

I can always set the BBB aside while I learn the basics on an easier
platform, thats not a problem.
Which development board would you recommend for someone brand new to
entire embedded Linux stuff? I think it would be easier to learn from
the beginning, and work my way up to the BBB.
Thank you.

Yeah, the BBB isn't really for beginners, the learning curve is
pretty steep.
It would help if you explained what you were trying to do with it.
For some hardware interface intros, try some of the videos Derek
Molloy has put together:

I have struggled with every aspect of the BBB.
I get home from work, looking forward to maybe, finally
accomplishing something on the BBB- but every session is
the same, lots of trials and all errors.
The advice given on the internet I am sure is good, its
just my own experience level that is holding me back.
I tend to think of everything in scales of one to ten,
including advice given on these types of sites. I am sure
for those that fully comprehend Linux and development the
advice here is excellent, but it seems to me there is
something missing- more detailed advice/instruction for
those of us at levels between 1 and 5.
I believe many of us are slightly intimidated into not
asking questions here, are are afraid that even when
answered we will not fully understand.
So are their any sites devoted to true beginners, or
other resources? A site with just a few experienced
members and many beginners would be a good place for me as
an example.
Thank you.
