Honestly, best way is to get a second hard drive, set it up to run unix, and just stary playing with it.

And remember man pages are your friend.

Also, here is a basic UNIX tutorial.

Read "Learning the Korn Shell" (Bill Rosenblatt, O'Reilly publishing) from cover to cover. It has a lot of practical information but it's also good at explaining how & why things work the way they do. Also read the O'Reilly book on the vi editor (and install Vim or Lemmy which are desktop vi clones).

You could also get an Apple Mac, which is a Unix workstation with a GUI interface.
