Hi, I'm going through the same process myself. For me, a good start was
the TDLP site. Specifically "Introduction to Linux" was a great start:
http://www.tldp.org/guides.html
And
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-tutorial/
although obsolete is still gives you a good grounding, I feel.
After that, you can try working into specific topics by searching on
youtube, google etc.
Good luck
