Hi John,

If you are fluent in Windows and PC in general, you do not need teacher!

Just some more curiosity and wish to try out new things.

I started my "journey" in the Linux world in year 2000 with SuSE, meanwhile I 
am using Ubuntu...

You can learn virtually EVERYTHING  just by asking "uncle google" ;-) This is 
the way I learned a lot.


my recent google searches

"mysql odbc install on ubuntu" -> best hit was on howtoforge
"raid on ubuntu"
"mysql on ubuntu"

I wish you success and lot of fun on your journey!


very best regards


Emil

P.S. There are lot of books written, my favorite is "Linux" from Michael Koffler 
(it is in German, but there is translation available). Meanwhile it is old, 
but I mean it is good introduction in Linux. But you can look out for some 
other ... good luck
