Learn how to use the terminal, then learn how to use a text editor. Start off with vi, then move on to emacs. Once you have these basic skills you can begin tunning your home network providing services you think the Sun server at work will provide, ie, DNS, email, www, etc.
Get a good linux book from o'reilly and get yourself a copy of the "Unix System Administration Handbook" 3rd edition (it covers linux). Try learning from the standpoint of a sysadmin, i find that much easier and enriching.
