That's a question I've heard a lot (and asked a lot). The main thing
I've done to learn is just to tinker around. Try to set up a webserver
on your system, or learn a new language (like php, perl, shell
scripting), or master the command line (with sed, grep, awk). It becomes
a chain where the more you learn, the more you realize you don't know
anything. :-) 

Here are a few pages:

Wine works pretty well for single apps. Bochs can emulate the whole
Intel architecture (like VMware but it's not as fast; bochs is free but
you'll still need a copy of windows to install on it). You might want to
look into dosemu.

Can you tell us what is in your /etc/fstab file?
