One of the best books available, both on the web and in print is
Paul Sheer's "Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition":
http://www.icon.co.za/~psheer/book/index.html
The level may be a little high for a beginner, but you already
have a lot of computer experience, and Paul Sheer used his book
(among other things) as a teaching tool for former Windows
systems administrators.
