This is my own personal take. If your aim is to program in Linux, I'd suggest immersing yourself in the environment. Find out which open source programs resonate with you best and visit the project website and find the section for developers/contributing. This section usually provide details on where to get the source code (i prefer the one with svn/cvs access compares to simply a tarball source code) and some guides on understanding the code. This would give you (some) extra motivations to learn, and, you'll also get to learn from the project. Hopefully, of course, once you've learned a little, you'll contribute back. This last step is pretty crucial if you're aiming to be a good programmer. Typically, programmers hav this "pride" that usually resulted in them spending more time writing good code when it's going to be viewed by other people. (Personally, I'd suggest starting to contribute test codes.)
