Thanks all!
The GUI is proving pretty intuitive and I've found enough CLI references online to get me by. If I was serious at it I'd probably need a good paper reference but the web seems to have more than enough to meet my modest goal of familiarization.

I have to say, I like it's speed, the GUI and the concept of workspaces. Free Apps are nice too. I'm going to use this as my primary OS for a while at home and see how it goes.

With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
