The first way to learn would be to realize that GNU/Linux is not an operating system, but a kernel. Knoppix is an OS. Ubuntu, Red Hat, Debian are operating systems. Linux is not.
If you really wish to learn it "deeply", the best way would be to write your own Linux distribution.
If in fact you just want to learn how to use a particular Linux distro, download that distro and install it, or use its Live CD if it has one. Almost all distros are free.

Linux runs powerfully on very little machine. Use an old computer that wont ru the newest windows or games, or get someone elses from their closet, and install linux.
Then start looking at the files. Many of the commands on a linux machine are viewable text

Order Ubunto Linux CD for Free. It is also available with live OS so that your system may not disrupt.

Probably the best way to do this is with learning by doing. Go to a place that lets you download a "live CD" like http://www.ubuntu.com and use that to get started.

I would research the redhat certification programs personally. You can get more info at https://www.redhat.com/training/
Redhat has had respected training programs for around 10 years now they are very detailed.
