Answer 4

install linux on your computer and use it from now on. forget about any other OS. look up things that you do not know how to do. and do not go back to other OSs. this is how I did it. you do not need to know programming to start out, but if you do, you'll be more efficient.

Answer 5

Out of any Unix skill, probably the most fun is the terminal, which gives you access to all the programs and fixed storage.

Linux has it's own learning tool for gaining knowledge of terminal commands - it's called man, which is short for manual and it's standard on most Linux builds and on Mac OS X.
Here is what the man has to say for himself

terminal>man man

NAME
man - format and display the on-line manual pages

SYNOPSIS
man [-acdfFhkKtwW] [--path] [-m system] [-p string] [-C config_file]
[-M pathlist] [-P pager] [-B browser] [-H htmlpager] [-S section_list]
[section] name ...

DESCRIPTION
man formats and displays the on-line manual pages. If you specify sec-
tion, man only looks in that section of the manual. name is normally
the name of the manual page, which is typically the name of a command,
function, or file. However, if name contains a slash (/) then man
interprets it as a file specification, so that you can do man ./foo.5
or even man /cd/foo/bar.1.gz.

See below for a description of where man looks for the manual page
files.
