I've been "playing" with *nix for a few years now still class myself as a newbie 

found the best way to learn is though practice have a project you want from the box this month lots of google.com/bsd 

then when/if you brake something ask for help on here :) you learn learn lots by putting things right
 

After all its not a production box you are playing with
