Technically seven, but six months sound better.
I know that for someone who technically lives in Pittsburgh, I haven’t written much about it. I am still heavily attached to New York, and that manifests itself in what I choose to write about. This preoccupation probably prevents me from appreciating Pittsburgh more: despite knowing that this town has a lot to offer for those who seek it, I can’t help but think about everything I left behind and the perks of living in a larger city that I don’t seem to find here. My affliction isn’t specific to Pittsburgh, either. I’m sure that it would hold true for any place I would have moved to after having lived in New York.

If you want to learn more about *nix environments, Linux is a good place to start as any. At the very least, it should give you an idea of the architecture of the OS and how everything is structured. Different flavors of UNIX have slightly different ways of going about things, but once you’ve learned one, it should be easy to pick up on another (for instance, going from Linux to Solaris).
I would recommend starting off with the system administration course. It sounds like that will be the better opportunity to learn specifically about Linux. If you wanted to, you could take the network administration course afterwards, since UNIX and LANs go hand-in-hand.
