The best way to study is to play it, such as setting up your own UNIX/Linux environment by following a good book, doing some real experiments. You may check www.amazon.com to find out which book is good, suitable for you, just read those reader's comments.

There are lot of books your may download from the internet. There are also some internet forums on UNIX topics where you can seek some help from.

If you just want to learn it, need no credit, the best way is to teah youself. Internet gives you everything you need, more than what you could ever learn from any colleges. I became a Linux system admin by teaching myself with Internet and an old 586 machine. :-D BTW, in Linux world, all knowlege exists in "Howto"s, such as "kernel compile howto", "sendmail howto", "Xwindows howto" etc.

Do you need real books? literally, you don't. However, I got myself one at the beginning when I started off. Partly because at that time, Linux was not so hot yet, no good books around, and neither much howtos in internet. In some high level howtos, the authors tend to keep things short. You may need a entry level book handy all the time.

Good luck, and welcome to Linux world!

Some of the Howtos are not good enough.
I am considering writing an Howto on a specific topic myself.
But the best thing for Linux is you can check the source code.
It is not a black box, you can understand everything if you like.
