Linux is an operating system, like Windows. It allows you to use your computer. Nobody says "I need to learn Windows", do they? If you want to learn all about Linux to the level of creating your own distro or rewriting a kernel, or creating applications, you are not going to be able to do that on a forum or by email. You do it by being determined, enquiring, resourceful and hardworking.

If you want to "learn Linux" so you can get a job, maybe you should get books about Bash scripting, perl, C programming, networking, Ruby, the Linux kernel, system configuration, embedded Linux,  and stuff like that.

I do not think you should be asking on a forum. You should be reading books and enrolling in college courses.

This attitude will never work:

The best way that I've found to learn is just to jump right into it.  Start doing things.  If/when you get stuck, research it, go through forums until you figure it out.  Just keep messing around, tweaking, and breaking things and you'll get the hang of things very soon.

The best way to learn anything is to just do it.  Get in and get your hands dirty.

Haha.  Sorry if I seemed a little blunt there.

Some good sites to check out if you have any questions are:

www.linuxquestions.org
www.ubuntuforums.org


Both sites have very knowledgeable people who are very nice and will help you with whatever troubles you may be having.

Even if you do not choose Ubuntu for your distro, you can still learn a lot from reading through those forums.

I got a couple pointers.
Take a good, long, hard look at each of your config files (xorg.conf, httpd.conf, php.conf, smb.conf, etc.). Figure out what each line does in each of them.
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-config.html - First result after a Yahoo! search for linux conf files. (I might look at it a little more myself)

Also, learn a programming language (or several). Perl is supposed to be a good beginner's language.

Why? I gave you good, truthful advice. If you can't handle it, that's your problem, not mine.

i think he means there's a misunderstanding in this whole situation and you both need to just chill, despite what your views of it are. remember people have different reactions to different statements.
have you googled for linux help? when i was first learning (before i could afford or had the time for a course aswell), i used google, and it actually helped me a lot. there are some thoughtful people out there who make sites with help just like what you want and they do it all for nothing, i'm sure you wouldn't want that to go to waste would you?
