You haven't really given us much to grip onto here; do you want server/headless/command line, GUI, any particular distribution, etc etc.

In general, you are likely to learn stuff that interests you more effectively than stuff that doesn't, so what interests you at the moment?

the general flowchart is something like:

Try to do something --> hit problem --> find solutions --> learn --> repeat

and you end up learning (quite a lot - optional) and may even get good at not having problems.

If you will only be using the GUI of a desktop environment, there isn't much to know.

To learn more about how it works, learn about the command line. See the tutorials linked to in my sig.

You really have not defined things very well. To general!

FYI: I suggest that you look at 'How to Ask Questions the Smart Way' so in the future your queries provide information that will aid us in diagnosis of the problem or query.

Just a few links to aid you to gaining some understanding;

  1 Linux Documentation Project 
2 Rute Tutorial & Exposition 
3 Linux Command Guide  
4 Bash Beginners Guide 
5 Bash Reference Manual 
6 Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide 
7 Linux Newbie Admin Guide 
8 LinuxSelfHelp 
9 Utimate Linux Newbie Guide
10 Linux Home Networking
