Hi, Josef.

1) The "man pages" hold a wealth of information. Get used to them. Use
them.

Start here: at a command prompt, type:
          man man

2) Suggestion: don't try to learn everything at once. Learn what YOU need
to know, as you need it.

3) Practice.

4) You did back up any data that you can't afford to lose, didn't you?
Good! Now do it again.

Hope this helps.
