Re: How to improve UNIX/Linux skills
I would suggest getting LPIC learning materials and start from there.
Re: How to improve UNIX/Linux skills
If you like books then I would suggest to just go to your local library (if there is one), and find a short book on Linux basics (the newer the better usually, and if there's one from o'reilly then even better).

Re: How to improve UNIX/Linux skills
Linux in a Nutshell is a comprehensive book, but I don't think it would be the easiest way to learn the basics of Linux.
The best way to learn Linux is to use it. Eventually in your use, you'll have some question or another, and that's where the resource of a good book comes in handy.
Trying Linux is actually pretty easy these days, with live-CDs and what-not, perusing different distros, desktop environments and windows managers is a breeze.
Grab you a ubuntu live, turn it into a liveUSB with persistence and start browsing the web, making files, installing and removing programs. When you run into a question like, how do I add another user, or run an SSH socks proxy, or install spotify, then books like Linux in a Nutshell, LPIC Linux Certification and A Practical Guide to Linux are a good place to find those answers... not to mention your friendly neighborhood Suck-O and the rest of that interweb thing I keep hearing about.

Re: How to improve UNIX/Linux skills
reading books is great for getting an overview about the possibilities, but learning by doing is the key, and never forget that Linux has a great on-board learning help: the man(ual) pages which are displayed by man <command> (like man vi for the manual for the vi text editor).

Re: How to improve UNIX/Linux skills
Old books are nice too. I learned from " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
There are exercises and everything, really good for learning

Re: How to improve UNIX/Linux skills
I have a bunch of Linux books (real books I mean), most are focused on very specific topics like sendmail, postifx or socket programming, but there is ONE Linux book which is THE classic (it's even known as "The Linux bible"), I also have it and I can really recommend it to anyone:

Re: How to improve UNIX/Linux skills
A good way to learn about linux is to understand how stuff is put together and what goes where and what dose what, and this project has help me out a lot.
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
other awesome things to get used to
*Bash scripting
*Terminal <- dont be afraid to play around with it
*VI
*Manual pages
Good readings
hmm pretty much anything (as long as it is somewhat up to date) from Addison-Wesley or O'Reilly Media both are good Authors

Re: How to improve UNIX/Linux skills
good thing with Linux is that it does not really have to be the latest edition when you buy a book....you often get the older edition for very little money as soon as a new one is out....and in the basics (like the vi editor you named) there are pretty much no changes. most changes appear in the advanced features (like desktop environmental stuff) that are not really interesting at the start anyway.
Re: How to improve UNIX/Linux skills
This site taught me a lot:
It has interactive tutorials which can be better than books, imo.
