Coming from a NT background, I found learning Linux rather frustrating. I was continually trying to find out "what is the Linux/Unix equivalent of task/command X in Windows?", but what is needed is a shift in thinking. I found Think Unix by Jon Lasser to be a great book for assisting in making the paradigm shift to the *nix way of thinking. It's written in a rather entertaining way too.

... and I was never taught about the Whalers on the Moon! Thanks Futurama :-)
We're whalers on the moon
We carry our harpoons
But there ain't no whales
So we tell tall tales
And sing this whaling tune
