I 'd say, one day, or one decade, nothing is enough to master Linux. Having said that, You could read about,
General knowledge base. - What is Open Source Software ? - GNU - what is ? - How does GPL work ? - What is Unix and What is Linux ? - The interesting story behind the origin of Linux Linux knowledge base. - Types of File systems in Linux. - The basic directory hierarchy and relevance of each directory, for example /proc/, /root, /home, /var, /etc - File permissions. What is read, write and execute., type of files. - Shells - Bash, KSH - If possible try installing a Redhat/Ubuntu from a CD/DVD into your machine, learn about GRUB or LILO, SWAP file system. - Read about Unix Sockets. - Try some basic commands, ls, ln, chmod, chown. etc. - Detecting/Playing with external devices. Importance of dmesg command. - ALSA/PULSEAUDIO - basic knowledge - GCC - How to use aliases in BASH. - Try writing a few BASH scripts. Additionally, Google for some Linux interview questions. Pawan, since you have not mentioned Linux in your resume, they should not ask you questions of an expert level. If they know that you have declared that you have ZERO knowledge about Linux, and still they called you despite knowledge of Linux being a requirement, means your resume exhibits that you have quick learning capabilities. Mostly in jobs with vibrant companies, you are required to learn things and work on them with a very less ramp up time.
