First set a goal/project on something that you would like to achieve. Then use google to find sites that describes way to reach that goal. Look into the different ways and understand the difference.

That way is a better way of learning then just reading a page or book from cover to cover. You will remember more if you can associate with real life scenarios.

I've found one of the best resources for basic things is actually Linode's Wiki:

http://library.linode.com/

They'll run you through how to setup/configure things like Apache, Nginx, PHP, MySQL, Load Balancing, Monitoring, Email, etc.

Don't discount the power of books They can provide an organized learning experience that you won't get from google.

My first linux was slackware, downloaded from a dialup BBS (pre-Internet), written to a series of 5-1/4" floppies and then installed on an old 386-SX machine. Amazingly it booted and gave a command prompt. I spent the next two weeks typing random things and hitting < enter >. 'dir' worked Then I got to town and a bookstore, and bought a 1,000 page 'Learning Linux' book. All was revealed in a nice orderly fashion

An excellent book that I have been working through at the command line to refresh what I used to know: The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction
