you should install an open source operating system like ubuntu on your pc , if you have it , then you can try some simple commands by using terminal ...you can use some good guide for the commands , linux network administrator's guide .

Answer 2

Their are many linux users forums. You can download ubunto onto a CD and boot. This will give you the oppurtunity to play around with it, without deystroying your PC if you make a mistake

Answer 3

If you want to jump into the deep end, I started using this book:

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/

It teaches you how to build a linux system from complete source code. It will take a lot of time. It took me 3 weeks to compile all the code on a Pentium 2, but I think the computers these days will probably be able to compile it all in 2-3 days.

The site is very complete and gives you a solid understanding of how Linux works from the inside.

Another good distro that will give you an inside look at how linux works is:

http://www.gentoo.org

Their handbook is very complete and takes you step by step on building your own linux build from the source.

Good luck! Ask as many questions as you can because Linux is definitely a big step to take, but definitely well worth it.
