Is your question related to Linux Mint specifically or is it related to linux in general? I always read people say just jump in to learn, which for the most part I fully agree with, as problems come up or you have questions, you can always jump online to a forum or google and find the answers to them, which goes a long way to learning. My problem is that so many things work so well with Mint, I don't know what I should do to try and learn further. I got a general linux book to read, but haven't really gotten into it yet. Learning to "use" Mint isn't hard at all, its a great distro, very simple to get up and running. To get into more complicated things you might be better off asking where you could learn more about Linux in general.
Here is a good place to start. Look in the wiki and read all the articles there. Then go to the how-to section and read everything there. Then start tracking frequent posters of this forum. You will be surprised how much you can learn just by reading about other's problems and the solutions that surface. It won't take long before you know who's posts have the most meat in them.
