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.

If you've been playing around with computers for a while you should be able to get a bootable linux installation disk and find your way around. You may also want to try one of the "Live" (run-from-cd) versions like Slax or Knoppix first.
