All the comments so far have been great!  The only one I would add is an
ancient secret of hard core geeks....

Read the man pages!

It takes a long time, but go through the sbin and bin directories, and
read the man page for every program you can find.  There will be a few
that don't have man pages, but then you can always attempt the --help
approach to getting information.
