NOT AT ALL, comrade!

for starters:
http://vertigo.hsrl.rutgers.edu/user_guide_menu.html

and explore from here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bibliography.html

or why not go to the source? Dennis Ritchie/Ken Thompson would thank you: http://www.bell-labs.com/history/unix/tutorial.html

Of course there is always this:
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/upe/index.html to me still the best resource ever. If you know it inside out, you know how to work in ANY *nix system.

Once you understand the basic truths that apply to EVERY Unix system (and 99.9999999% of Lunix), THEN you can go here for the nitty-gritty: http://bhami.com/rosetta.html
