It helps you in a way knowing to drive a car would help you
with.. Tank? airplane? Truck? something.
Many concepts are very similar, but gears and stearing weel may look very
differently. The most difficult part will be to find out how to find help
(man, Howto, online help, etc), because this part is solved much
differently with linux. Once this is done comes the part of getting
accustumed to a new language and the fact that programs running on linux
differ from those running on M$.
And there is another big problem: some concepts are simply invalid under
linux, while "sacred" under windows, most noticeable beeing the concept of
program == GUI, and in the beginning you will certainly be displased to
find some things you thought extremely important missing.
But all-in-all, beeing a computer expert always helps: it helped me to
administer a virtual windows domain under vmware, it will help you with
linux.
