There is no definitive guide to linux. There are some things to jump off from to get in the ever flowing river, but there is no "HOW TO LINUX" thing anywhere. Workflows are different, DE's are different, everyone has their own choices.
There are generic recommendations though...
Heres mine. Go get Netrunner 17 and learn the basics of KDE (the desktop environment). Learn the basic uses of it and maybe tackle the package manager in the terminal (apt-get). Learn the wiki's and go on IRC when you have a question. If you have problems, learn what to ask where or what to google. Otherwise, dive in yourself.
