Like learning a foreign language, the best way to get familiar with UNIX, 
Linux, or any other environment is to actually use it.    What's most 
important is what you actually want to _do_ with your skills, since setting 
up a DNS server is not much like building source from SVN.

One tool I would always learn first is rdiff-backup, so you can back up your 
machine easily.  That way, when you inevitably make a mistake while 
experimenting, you can restore your system back to a healthy state.
