Welcome to the forums!

Check out LinuxCommand.org for learning the command line under Linux:

LinuxCommand.org: Learn the Linux command line. Write shell scripts.

A couple of other good links to check:

And here is a link to help you "adapt" to Linux. Coming from Windows, you have to understand that things are often done differently in Linux. Installing software, for example, isn't generally carried out by surfing to a web page, downloading and running an .exe; In Linux you use the software management tool (which you must configure - one of your first jobs) and let it do everything for you.
