Learning Linux?
I've been a Windows geek for years. Now that I've 'grown up' I'd like to start learning Linux. I have an old Dell box with a Celeron processor that chokes on Windows XP, but should run Linux just fine (2Ghz CPU, 256mb RAM). Eventually I plan on using it as a home FTP and File Server (on Linux), but for now I just want to use it as a test platform for learning Linux.
What is a good resource, either in book for or online, that will start me off right as I know nothing about Linux. I want to learn enough to eventually get my LPI. I don't want to learn enough to pass the test, I want to really know it.
I have 4-6 hours a day at work to kill, so online resources would be great. I'd rather not read through a book all day. Is there anything online out there that will walk me through the basics, then into more advanced study? If not, what book would be ideal for a total newbie in Linux?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I'll probably do Slackware because of the higher learning curve. If it's one of the harder installs, then I'll have to really know it to set it up right. Thank you.
