Hi there, I was in the same hole as you a few months ago. I bought a book called "Unix for Dummies" (IDG books). It's easy to read, basic and absolutely hilarious! One good thing it does have is a chapter all for DOS users, giving the Unix equivalent commands for DOS commands (as far as they could). Once you get used to Unix (just play around) a good SysAdmin book is Evi Nemeth's "Unix System Administration". It's comprehensive, with typical Unix humour (very cynical!) and covers just about everything you will need to know. Loads of VERY famous people have contributed, the only one I can think of off hand is Phil Zimmerman. Good luck and if you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to contact me! :) -Taff.
