What suggestions would you give to someone new to Linux about how to learn it? I am thinking about taking a Linux class at a community college. A class would be more structured and detailed than doing something on my own. For now I have two books, "The Linux Command Line," and "Ubuntu Made Easy." that I am looking through. I have Ubuntu installed as a dual boot on my computer.<br>

Thanks in advance for suggestions that anyone may have.<br>
