Alright. Good choice. Don't take any crap from contrex, either.
I also don't exactly recommend looking at the linux manual for newbies. It can be difficult to understand at times and a lot to wade through. For example, how is someone, who know dos better than linux, going to know that the rm command deletes files? Your not going to type in "man rm", you'd probably try "man delete" first, and then "man del" and still have no idea what to do.
Find yourself a command line list and print it out. It will be an invaluable resource.
