Google knows everything. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=introduction+to+lin...

Standard unix utilities: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unix_utilities - also scroll down to the bottom of the page for the summary "Unix command line programs and builtins (more)"

These look pretty good for introduction:

http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/cli.html

http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/linuxcommands.html

You will soon graduate from simple commands and start writing scripts, probably in bash.
