[Lug-Nuts] Rookie's back!

Okay, got a system at work running RH 6.0 and I "believe" through stumbling around I have installed the current Apache web server. So far so good. Now, I need to move forward. Unfortunately, I was brought up in the DOS and Windows world and have very little, and I mean little, Linux or Unix experience. I have purchased a couple of books on Linux, but they are written for people who can actually "maneuver" around. It took me several days just to figure out that I needed the CSH shell to get things to even run. BOOKS SUCK!!!!!

Question to you:

If you were just starting out and wanted to get the basics down so you weren't fumbling around in the dark, what would you do? Take a class? Find someone who knows this stuff? Please don't say get a book!

Any help would be appreciated.

Yours Truly,

The Rookie
