Go to your local book store and ask for a book that targets on your
flavour of *nix, or your Linux distribution.

If you really have no idea about *nix, the this is a bad idea. Nearly
all *nix related resources in the internet require at least a basic
understanding of *nix.

You may start with a virtualized installation. There are vmware and co.
(namely virtualbox).
Install your favourite distro into a virtual machine (hint: use bridged
networking, no NAT). You can make snapshots at any time, so it is easy
to roll back any changes you made to your Linux.

Regarding trac: Trac is pure python, so from a technical point of view,
there are no big differences between a windows trac and a *nix trac.
Just tell your OS where to find the shared libraries, and you are set.
But ask yourself: What is your reason for trac?  One great thing with
trac is its interface to subversion, but it is perfectly OK to run a
trac without subversion; you can also use trac as a wiki only - it all
depends on your requirements.
But trac without subversion is only half the fun :-)
