If you want to be a Linux pro you need to know RHEL 7.x and beyond. You can get a free/open version of RHEL via CentOS ( There latest release is binary compatible with RHEL 7.1 ), I suggest installing it in a virtual machine. Then get ALL RHEL 7 docs here => https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/index.html They are available a html but also in offline versions of pdf and epub ( for light reading on your tablet ) The good news is that these doc are the real thing, not some watered down dummy guide. If you learn from these docs then you can pass exams and interview questions.
This email will undoubtedly cause a FLAME war about which distro is the true Enterprise Linux. Yes there is Ubuntu, Debian, SuSE, etc. but not the point. All I wanted to illuminate is that Red Hat has credible professional doc that is accessible at no charge. They are by far the one distro that most production environments use. Thus if you want to have a shot at a Linux job ( one that pays a living wage ) you are most likely going to need some RHEL skills. If you want said skills, you don't need to drop $300-$1K on courses that basically run you through these docs.
