I actually learn linux all by myself too. all u need is time and self-study. If you are new to linux.. it’s best you use virtual machine or extra computer that can install stand alone.
there are many virtual machine that can install linux, my favorite one will be virtual box.. So, u can install on your windows computer, and virtual box will run as a mini-computing system. If u r very new to linux.. there are many ways you can get to know them.. First learning in Distrowatch.com and what are the core ingridients in each distribution.. I like Fedora 10 or 11 the best to learn new things, because they have apache, httpd, ftp, database, many scripting, also security and networking setup, I quite like it…
Let’s say, u want dual-boot with computer, not using virtual machine, try ubuntu 9.04, ubuntu is the best linux to install.. they have two version, desktop and server version, u can choose whatever version u want to master it.
Generally learning for Linux, for starter.. you can read through this website to get to know bit by bit.
Free trainings are starting from Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Level. Moreover, you will be able to learn some useful tips and tricks of Linux operating system and its functions. Once you complete the course, it is time to choose a particular distribution and start mastering the Linux one by one. My person choices will be Fedora 11 or Ubuntu 9.04 as of today.. These versions will change time after time as they will release more or less every 6 months to 12 months as a new version.
Thanks for reading.
