I am in the same boat you are. Here are just a couple of things you could start with:
1. I would suggest that you start by learning basic commands and what they do such as looking in the /usr/sbin directory and entering man commandname . Then try to use the commands properly without destroying your system.
2. You could attempt to install an RPM package to see how nontrivial it can be. You will probably find a lot of failed dependencies that will cause an installation to fail. You can also try to build binaries and discover that there are source errors that require fixing.
I wouldn't try to run in Linux before you can crawl. Forgive me if you fully understand Linux, but there is far more to understand in Linux than Windows and you must fully understand how things work.

Hi, i know this is a big question :
I would like to improve my knowlwedge of linux with redhat, but even if i know much commands and i'm working with AIX in my office, i'm not enough knowing of kernel of linux and all configuration file, scripting...ETC...
Other than reading (i did that, even if reading is never enough to understand) , what should a build, i mean projet ; like building a website, do some script or any pratical suggestion.... that will help me to have a better knowledge of all the structure of linux-unix ??
I would like to script something in kornshell, but i don't know what to do, than can be usefull or cool to build (for me or other peoples unless to complicated at the beginning ...
in short, i would like to pratice in linux through a projet to build (scripts.... building something in linux...)
i hope this question isn't to large or eccentric ... :)
