Hi Paul,

A great place to start your reading is at the Linux Documentation
Project (http://www.tldp.org/). One of the first things I did was to
download and work through some the books in the "Guides" section. And
there's an amateur radio HOWTO here: 
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/AX25-HOWTO/index.html

I've also learned a lot from a general college textbook on Unix that
also covers Linux. It wasn't cheap, about $90.00, but the detailed
coverage is really helping me get the most out of my system. 
The book I found is
Your Unix: The Ultimate Guide
