For a decent free introduction to the *nix philosophy of doing things I
usually point people to Ohio State's "Introduction to Unix" course
documentation: http://wks.uts.ohio-state.edu/unix_course/

Their sys admin introduction is good for core learning as well (it does not
cover Linux):
http://wks.uts.ohio-state.edu/sysadm_course/html/sysadm-1.html

A good book that does the same things is "Teach Yourself Unix in 24 hours"
by Dave Taylor.  All of these references seach *nix concepts from the
ground up, which is where you should start.
