Welcome to the "real" world ;-)!!! as you have already found out, the best way is to start installing it in the house. I would recomment Red Hat to start with, or may be Debian. I personally love Debian. The learning curve can be more in the case of Debian.
http://www.tldp.org contains lots of guides, HOWTOs(which you should get used to) and other interesting materials. I would personally recommend BASH Programming HOWTO! U r goin to have fun! all the best!
