Well, this problem is sort of solved. I now understand that Linux doesn't just have an equivelant to ".exe", and that some reconfiguration of my thinking will be required to wrap my head around it. I'm going to go out and hunt for Linux books soon, and hopefully get more of a feel for this sort of thing.
I have a friend that took a "Linux" course at a local community college and the book they used was "Linux Administration Handbook". From what I've seen it seems to be a reasonably good book that covers the three major "flavors" of Linux .... Redhat, SuSE and Debian. If your looking for a more user oriented book it may not be quite for you though, but teaches the concepts and covers the differences among the various flavors.
