learn unix commands: ls, cp, rm, less, etc (to learn about a command, type 'man COMMAND' to view the manual page for it).
if you want to use a windowing system, like the popular Gnome system, that makes it even easier. you can play games and surf the web.
speaking of the web, check out lynx too, it's a command-line browser - you'll see the web in text-only!
enjoy.
oh yeah, and learn perl too!

So what are you using? Is it really Unix on your computer? Solaris? visit www.opensolaris.org for information about Solaris.
Linux? adding to previous answers, subscribe to a linux user group of your town, look at tldp.org for many many documentation. Your distribution should have come with loads of documentation. Follow those docs.
books to follow? look up Amazon or Barnes & Nobles for beginning linux or beginning Unix.
