From an administration point of view I would recomend killing LM and move onto something that will force you to work out much of the configuration. You can start with Debian Squeeze then move to Testing. Then check out Slackware or Arch then Geentoo ...... LFS....
Other than that I would recomend allot of reading...... Linux in a Nutshell series. The Command Line.. William E. Shcotts....
Distribution: RHEL, CentOS, Debian, Oracle Solaris 10

Rep:
If it is possible for you, then stick only to Linux OS permanently. If you will dual boot with Windows OS then you're not likely to leave your comfort zone.
Install an easy linux whichever you want in real partitions.
Learn Filesystems, Explore every filesystems. Learn shell scripting. Install linux from scratch. Linux is all about community, if you see any problem that need to be addressed, then go for it.
Personally, my favourite learning resource is the IBM developerWorks site. I based a Linux intro for my colleagues at work on a lot of the Linux articles on that site.
