Awesome well kudos to you for pushing forward with the Unix learning. My suggestion is to get a good local mentor or coach that you can email or have coffee with once in a while to bounce things off of. That did wonders for me when I got into Ruby. I still say you should consider just buying a cheap Mac, a lot of the things you're finding challenging aren't as big a deal. The Mac makes Unix A LOT more approachable :)
