Re: newbie to linux
What's your style? Do you prefer the ease of GUI admin tools or the raw power of the command line?
See the "Rosetta Stone for Unix":
http://bhami.com/rosetta.html
Find out which Linux distribution(s) you most likely will be using, and read their documentation (it's going to be freely available on the web, unless you pick a rare ultra-restricted distribution).
If something works the same in HP-UX, AIX and Solaris, it will be a good guess to assume it works the same in Linux too. If you've gotten used to referring to the man page for some particular thing because you cannot remember exactly the syntax for *this* architecture... yup, you will probably be doing that in Linux too.
Expect to learn a new bootloader, a few new filesystem types, a new way to set network parameters persistently, a new set of hardware management commands, a new /dev layout and a few other things like that.
You may have installed some GNU tools to get some extra functionality over and above the OS's standard versions in HP-UX, AIX and/or Solaris... on Linux, the GNU tools *are* the standard tools.

Re: newbie to linux
To add to Matti's insights, you will find this "Distribution Chooser" potentially useful:

It is designed to guide you in your early explorations of Linux distributions.

Re: newbie to linux
howtoforge is also nice, but don't just follow it blindly because the posts are not always clean implementations.
basicly, if you know your way around solaris and hpux, you should be able to figure out linux pretty quick.
