This (http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/intro-linux.html), and then this (http://tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/sag.html) for system administration stuff.

Linux has support for read and write to fat32 filesystems, and read (no write) to NTFS filesystems (you can get write support by using the Windows driver and some "captive" program).

It runs with wine (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=76;whq_appdb=dad0e9c8e396bbd47e09a3a7b5a41a32), but consider using the GIMP (http://gimp.org).
