I started by installing linux (I use Mandrake) and playing with it.  Also, 
subscribing to the distro's mailing lists help _alot_.

My initial goal with learning linux was to sell consulting services to 
small businesses.  But I'm no longer a consultant so it has instead turned 
into a hobby.  It's a lot of fun.
