Seriously, get a GOOD book.
Unix for dummies is okay.
Linux for dummies is better.
Unix Made Easy is so-so
I've heard Running Linux by O'Reiley is good.
Books have their place, but if you don't start tinkering with your
system and trying different things you probably won't put your reading
to good use.
Also, there are TONS of HOW-TO's and tutorials on the net.
Probably the last thing I would do is take a class.
