Grab a good book, and work through it. O'Reilly's "Running Linux", for
example. ISBN: 0-596-00272-6

You might also want to pick up a "cheat ***" book, like O'Reilly's
"Linux in a Nutshell" ... I'll let you look up that one, if you're
interested.

That's how I got started, anyway. Well, that, and the somewhat
frequent pestering of the friend who got me involved with Linux.
(Haven't seen him IRL in a while, come to think of it.)
