The reality is Unix isn't easy to get started in, but there are lots of resources once you know how to find them. I learned by having a close friend and co-worker guide me through the early stages of using Unix, eventually I knew how to find solutions to my own problems (it was more a matter of where to look and some basic terminology). The different flavours of Unix make this a bit of a double edge sword in that while solutions are similar on most platforms, finding the location of config files and different ways to install packages is often well explained but not always for the platform you're working with.
