P.S. I know the advanced users hate step for step basics explaining I just need a foothold.

PSST! I have a secret! The N900 Bible is hidden on this site! It's called the Wiki and is well worth browsing over and over. There is also a section called Terminal that will give you a foothold on that foothold you're looking for.

As for books, you need to find ones that specifically suit you. I wouldn't focus on books that specialize in Debian -- just Linux will do. It might be worthwhile to mosey on down to a bookstore (while they still exist) and see what Linux books tickle your fancy. A lot of people started with Running Linux.
