However it can prove to be useful, quicker or even fun to run command lines. This mailing list would be one way to vent or ask questions, the Ubuntu Forums another and the irc channels as yet another option. Then there's ton of stuff to read if you do a search online.
The way I started was to either solve a problem and reading suggestions online to try out or just to figure out how to do a task I used to do in GUI but from the terminal instead. So the next time you want to run an update of the system, find out the proper commands to do it through the terminal. Doing a backup of your files/disk? Read up on rsync and try it out. I started to make all my notes in terminal and vi instead of using a GUI text editor, now I can't go back to use a "normal" text editor. For every thing you do on your pc, check if there's a terminal way to do it and try it out. Eventually you'll know enough about it to know when to use it and when the GUI stuff is quite alright.
