I agree with Tim's comment, for slightly different reasons. "Linux" is
a big subject, and however much you learn, you will remember only what
you use. What do you want to do? Set up a NAT firewall? Rip/burn DVDs?
Set up a Samba server? Advise a Windows user which apps to use as
replacements for Office? I doubt that there is anyone on earth who
knows everything about all the stuff that comes with a typical Linux
distro.
The books you have already got and the URLs in this thread are more
than enough to get you started. Beyond that, search the web for your
specific needs.
