Previous GUI experience is pretty meaningless. That's the easy part. Any DOS experience?
If I were a beginner, I would get a book that is an overview of what you want to install (redhat 7.3 or debian for example) and focuses on what you can typically do with it once installed. Then play around with it for a week and figure out where you are lacking or confused. Then go get a book related to that. e.g. if you have the command line under control and want to learn more about networking tools, get a book on networking and linux. Or perhaps you want to learn more about the command line stuff, so you'd get a book like linux/unix power tools or bash. If it comes with distribution CDs in it, make sure it's the most recent as things change for the better very rapidly.
