Hi,
Look at; Linux Books & Online Magazines
I like to give newbies theses links to help them to have a starting point; For future posts then consider reading;

Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!

IBM and RedHat usually have good guides/tutorials. It looks like you want to search ' linux system administrator guide/tutorial'.

I've written about this very question: http://boardstretcher.github.io/blog...earning-linux/
Here is the gist:
Quote:
GNU/Linux are projects aimed at creating a Free and Open Source operating system. They have been around for decades, but some people are just getting their first exposure to them. This is my advice to would-be Linux users and future administrators.
Start at the beginning. If you were learning to build and fabricate cars, would you immediately grab a solenoid and say “if someone tells me what I need to know about this solenoid, I will be able to build a car made of solenoids” or would you start at the beginning and learn about frames? Then electrical, batteries, blinker fluid, wheels, and brakes?

I learned linux just by using it more than windows and doing lots of reading  and hands-on practice.
