I'd like to learn some variant of Linux (SuSe or Fedora or Debian?), is there a tutorial somewhere online to help atleast teach me the basics?

There is loads of good reading at the Linux Documentation Project website (http://www.tldp.org), especially good for people migrating from windoze is this: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DOS-Win-to-Linux-HOWTO.html It is getting rather dated now but still covers the basics.
