Get hands-on by playing around with Arch Linux or Gentoo. Arch has an incredible wiki that can be applied to many general Linux use cases. While playing around just Google things you might find interesting that are encountered in the install process like the Linux filesystem hierarchy, what an initramfs is for, kernel modules, etc. This will give you a high level view of an OS from a user/sysadmin perspective.
