One thing I have found to really help in learning is to read through
some of the standards.  I would suggest the linux file system standard
(LFS) and the Linux standards base (LSB).

These help you to understand why things are in the places that they are
and how things should be done on a system.  the LSB does start to get
a little advanced into system librarys and such but does start of really
good.

I have been through a lot of 3am working by 8am crash courses (especialy
the past 2 weeks) and they really are where you learn the most "real"
stuff.  All the classes in the world will never get you the education
that real experince will give.

Aside from this O'reilly College has been my main college, also if you
want you can try the HTC (How-to technical college).  Pick some things
that you would like learn and do them.

Just some of my thoughts on this.
