Hi Analog!
Went through this since Christmas last year. It seems that for us ex-DOS 
users there is no simple way. And there is NO one book that addresses 
this transition. It takes few month till you start feeling comfortable in 
the vagaries of Linux. From my experience get highly proffesional books 
that seem to be, at first, way above what you think you need. 
"Essential System Administration" by O'Reilly comes to mind.
"Linux Secrets" is another.
And after that you learn how to open multiple virtual terminals and read 
in one on-line documentation and write scripts in other.
Send me a line on Christmas '97 how things went.
Have a interesting year.
Stanislaw.
