The first rule of Linux is:

Linux isn't Windows.

If you hit a problem; find out how to solve it in Linux. Don't try what you would do in Windows. It won't work and might make the problem harder to solve. These forums are good place to find help.

There's a learning curve, but it's worth the effort.

Buckle your seatbelt and start saving up for a wig. Plenty of bumps and hair pulling in your future.

Oddly enough its also probably going to be one of the most fun and rewarding adventures you take on.

A good online book: http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz

It's out of date - like most documentation - but much of the theory and practices are still relevant today (I actually own the real thing, but have hardly opened it - I'm just lazy).
