   I know of a much better idea that will definetly steer you towards what was   
   probably closest to the original way (pre-Debian) one got a linux root/boot   
   system off the ground.  Check http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ for all the   
   gory details.   
      
   As for the commandline any book/tutorial on shell scripting (eg bash) most   
   often contains examples of using basic commands within a shell script which   
   will shed light on the usage of such commands as well as learning basic   
   builtin shell commands.  Things like sed, grep, tar, date, etc. are oft used   
   commands within a shell script.  This is probably the best way to learn linux   
   as well as any other unixie enviroment.
