Hrm, I think this should be more in the computers forum, but regardless.
I learned linux by diving head first into debian and reading EVERYTHING about it to make sure i didn't screw up too badly. After getting the basic system running (broweser, chat, email, offfice suite), I just picked other aspects as i needed it. Google, man pages and browsing through the 13000+ packages that debian offers allowed to to play around and experiment with different programs avalible on linux and the basics of setting each one up. I often read through serveral different guides on the same topic to make sure i was getting it right and to decode the different ways different distros did things. I guess it depends on what you mean by learning linux. What is your goal and what do you want to do with linux? Learning the basic workstating aspect and playing around with settings doesn't take too long, but you want to learn how to be a sysadmin, it may take a long time to master linux as well as the other associated skills such as programming scripting languages.
