On your mdk cds is a package called RUTE. It installs a truly excellent 
(IMHO) introduction to linux in pdf format, which you can read with xpdf 
or the Adobe Acrobat reader. Don't expect to finish it in a few hours: it 
is pretty big. And no one has ever claimed that it is "for dummies"

You might have it installed already, in fact.  Check if the file 
/usr/share/doc/rute0.X.X/rute.pdf exists on your system 

Apart from that, the best way to learn almost anything to do with a 
computer is to switch it on and start playing with it. Make mistakes, 
figure out how to fix your mistakes, lurk the newsgroups, browse the linux 
websites, if you don't understand a command then immediately type "man 
<commandname>", and it is amazing how you start picking up on the tips and 
tricks. I'll allow one exception to that rule: When you go and learn a new 
programming language, a book helps you to find out what the major commands 
are! But generally, books are overrated.
