Linux

Well I'm taking over Lev's position as lead animator for Team 116 now that he has graduated. *shudders*

Anyways. I have been considering making the move on my main computer from Windows to Linux. Now, I have basic Linux background... meaning the following:
  • I have installed Red Hat before.
  • I know how to check my email using Ximian Evolution.
  • I have updated the graphics drivers for my Radeon 9700 Pro for Linux.
  • I'm familiar with the interface.
  • I have played Tux Racer.
I know, I know - I'm a Linux master...
But the fact is, when faced with the linux terminals... the things where you actually have to type... well I can change directories and do 'make' commands but thats about it.

I'm a Windows guy, which is sort of ironic because I cant stand Microsoft... but then... isn't that all of us? I need to click and drag. To see my files. I don't like typing to get stuff done, but I understand that thats the heart of Linux.

Anyways, I figure the best way to solve this is to wipe out Windows for the most part (still have it for Counter-Strike ) and use Linux as much as possible.

So I have two questions: What is the best way to actually become comfortable and actually knowledgeable with Linux. And secondly, what can I do with it animation-wise.

I understand that Maya runs on Linux - what about Max. And if not Max, you guys have been talking about Open-Source 3D apps a bit - are any of those for Linux that are any good?
