Here are some really good tutorials on linux:
This first one is probably one of the better ones:
http://rute.2038bug.com/rute.html.gz
There is a pdf download at the top left corner of the page.
The LInux documentation has a ton of info on everything:
http://tldp.org/
Check out the Linux Reality podcast. It's really good. There are
about 100 podcast about 1/2 hour long that give you basic startup
tutorial on many SysAdmin tasks.

This is the Linux System Administrator's Guide. It's a little
outdated, but there is nothing in this book that will not be good
basic overall learning of Linux. The following is a heavy duty and
pretty comprehensive guide for SysAdmins:
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/index.html
Here is an administrators guide that may be a little more light duty:
http://tldp.org/LDP/lame/LAME/linux-admin-made-easy/index.html
Here's a really good book on the Linux Kernel. It's 2.4, but much
of it still applies:
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lki/index.html
Here's a How To for Mail Server:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Mail-Administrator-HOWTO.html
Here's a Printing HOWTO:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Printing-HOWTO/index.html
Here is a flilesystem Hierarchy Standard. If in case some day you
want to understand filesytem Hierarchy Standards:

Here's a network administrators guide:
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/nag2/index.html
Here's a little tutorial for building and Installing Software
packages for linux:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-Building-HOWTO.html
Here's a couple of links that were posted to the list recently for
shell scripting links, they will come in handy:

http://www.shell-fu.org/
and of course, here is the linux from scratch website where you
will find a wealth of information:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/essential_prereading.txt
my suggestion is that you download the LFS book pdf, and as you
read through it, go to all the reference material and learn about
what you don't understand as you go along.
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/stable/
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/download.html
As others said before, start out small. Start with something that
interests you (especially a technology that is in high demand in
the field) and install it and work it and break it. You learn by
breaking it and fixing it. My suggestion is that you get a box with
at least two HD's so you can implement raid and run a virtual
server in it, because virtual server is pretty much essential for
SysAdmin these days. Load and implement a mail server as some have
suggested, because every business network is gonna want a mail
server. Install a DNS, a Web server with all the essentials (MySQL,
Postgre, php, pearl,python, Apache, Tomcat, ) File Servers, Version
Control, Windows Networking (Samba, or etc.) and last but not least
backups. With out desiring to beat a dead horse, start out small
and build on that, as some have said before. Start out by
installing a virtual server, and the four things you should learn
first are VS, Mail server, Web Server and Backup. All these things
have been said before, but I thought I should try to make sure that
the best starting point is clear. Run instances of Ubuntu, CentOS,
Debian and other production grade and tested OS servers of all
types. Put them on the net, try to secure them, but let them get
hacked (not on purpose, but if you put them on the net, your gonna
get hacked) and find out why by learning to read log files as some
have suggested. Definitely learn SSH, SSL and Certifications.
Here is the Manual on securing a Debian Server:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch-sec-services.en.html
of course the principals are pretty much apply across the board,
but different distros will have different ways of implementation.

Check out the LPI cert guides. I'm currently working as a Linux

do regularly.
