Have you got any books to get you started? When I started out I read
"RedHat Linux Unleashed" and as someone who had never seen Unix before it
helped immensely - I now make a living from it ;) but that was about 6 years
ago.
One book that keeps winning readers choice awards is the O'Rielly book
"Running Linux" which is a surprisingly thin book - so I hope that means
it's to the point not light on.
