Hi,

What worked for me (starting from zero Un*x experience):

Get a cheap machine, free if possible (486DX2 or so.th)
Install it with Debian
configure it
break it
read the HOWTOs
read the man pages
re-install it
re-configure it
break it
email debian-user with your questions
fix it
repeat as often as possible

-Jon
