Umm...how to compile programs, and how files like /etc/fstab work.

Also, it would be smart to get a basic knowledge of the terminal and some useful commands.

I like the courses section on www.linux.org, work through the beginners section and you'll learn plenty to get started.

learnng the cli is the hardest part, but it makes doing things soo much easier.

The first thing newbee has to learn - TO READ
There are lots of manuals, help files available withing distros and on-line.
Not all of them written on simple language, thought. So newbee has to learn to read. I started with Linux by myself, was messing around a lot, found my way around more or less. Then I bought a book Linux For Dummies. After some reading some manuals started to have more sence to me. I do not remember the author now. Then i got The Complete Reference To linux by R.Petersen. You have to find your own way, own guide line, IMHO.
