How long does it take to learn Linux profressionally ?

Q. I am 46 & I am planning to get into the IT field. All I know is some html 7 css. Now I was recommended to learn Linux to get a job. I am have the choice between learning Linux Administration, or web development or SQL server database. What would you guys do in my shoes? I am 46 & I am giving myself 1 year. Regards.

A. Depends on how much time you'll be willing to spend on learning any of the three, and let's not forget the disposition for them...
If this will be for a job, then think about it... What do you prefer from that list? (becasue you'll be working in that area the entire time afterwards, and people will be conting on you to get the job done...).
There's no "this one's easier to learn" here.. It's all about you...

What is the best way to learn Linux operating system?
Q. I have always used Microsoft and desire to learn Linux. I am a programmer by occupation, but everything is done via Windows.
Also, which is the best Linux Distribution?

A. Ubuntu is a great way to go. It is free, and they will even send you free CD's if you can't download it for some reason (if you are asking a question here, I assume you are already online). For me, the best part of Ubuntu is the community. There is a great community of people from around the world, that are very polite and always happy to help answer any questions that you may have: http://www.ubuntuforums.org

Even though Ubuntu is currently on version 5.1 (Breezy Badger), http://ubuntuguide.org which was written for version 5.04 (Warty Warthog), is still a great guide that is very helpful as well.

The Synaptic Package Manager makes it VERY easy to install additional programs, and most of them are free.

There is a live CD (which runs from the CD, but is slower), if you would like to try it without having to install it to your hard drive first:

Give it a try, I am sure that you will like it. I installed Ubuntu as a dual-boot about 7 months ago, and I finally removed Windows about 4 months ago. I am here to stay.

Please suggest me a software that i can install in windows XP inorder to learn LINUX commands?
Q. I want to learn linux commands on windows platform (without the requirement of linux OS). I had a software but i forgot the name, can please help getting that similar kind of functionality.

Thank you all for your kind suggestions and Hints.

A. If you want native solution, then Cygwin is the best. It allows you to configure and install only those applications that you want.
