LJ, Fount of All Knowledge, I Ask Thee

[neadods]

Three questions:

1) I need to learn LINUX in a hurry. Any good books/online classes/websites to recommend?

2) I also need to learn LaTeX in a hurry. Any good books/online classes/websites/freeware downloads for PC you can recommend?

and, now for something completely different:

3) With my parents and I both scaling back on the amount of stuff in our houses, Christmas is going to be more than just "Unwrap presents. Eat." Any suggestions for other things to do on the day?
