Windows to Linux (Ubuntu) Transition - Best Guide?

Question

I just installed Ubuntu and I'm looking for a really nice guide to help me transition. I know Windows XP inside and out, including cmd prompt and everything... just everything. lol but I'm looking for a guide that will specifically go into depth with the TERMINAL and its uses because I've fooled around with it a bit and it is NOTHING like cmd.
