The issue with that is Linux networking is a specialized topic under networking. You will need to understand Networking FIRST, then delve into how it works in Linux AFTER. TCP/IP and OSI are the same no matter what OS you are running, it's just the tools used to accomplish certain things may be different.
For Networking, try studying materials for the Network+ (I'm not saying take the cert, just use the materials to study for it.). It is the fundamental cert for Networking and starts at hubs and covers everything from DNS to AS to copper to fiber to WiFi.
Professor Messer's videos are great for networking basics. Here.
Mike Meyers makes very thorough books on basic networking (if not a tad bit [ok, sometimes VERY] dry and boring) Here.
You can choose either one of those resources and have a very solid base once you are done. Once you get a solid grasp on networking THEN try to figure out how to get it to work as you want on Linux.
This is generally regarded as the best. It was suggested to me when I needed to re-certify from 004 to 006.

Here is some information. Note that I still haven't taken my Net+ but this is the information that seems to be widely used:

Also, if you want hardcopy material look into Mike Meyer's series. I think it is this one:

Good luck and happy studying!
glad to hear it.
btw, here:
clicky A+
clicky Net+
clicky Sec+ <--careful, this test is being updated soon, the next version should be coming out in late 2017, with exam guides dropping early 2018. This specific book will be outdated, though still a fantastic resource. Might want to hold off if you're serious about taking the Sec+ exam until the next version, this one comes out.
grab a hardcover copy and start learning!
Honestly, I was a little overwhelmed when I started Lammle's book, so I decided to go for the Net+ first. I'm glad I did because it was a lot easier to understand all of the basic concepts going into the CCNA studies. You don't have to actually take the Net+ exam if you are planning on going for the CCNA, but this book would be a good read either way:

Mike Meyers' Network+ Certification Manual is a great read, and will give you a fairly comprehensive understanding of all basic networking concepts.
You can get the CompTIA certifications through self study. Took me 1 month and this book to get mine.
It took me about 3 months to get my Net+ (but I wasn't studying everyday like I did with the A+), using this book.
Both will help you in sprucing up your resume for applying to IT jobs and will only cost you the books and the exam costs. Best of luck out there!
I second this! Network+ Guide
Literally everything you would need to know from making cables to routing tables.
I'm currently studying for my Net+. I took a class for Net+ a few years back at a local community college, and now I'm using this book as a refresher. What I also do is putting in notes from the book into a study program called Anki, and use that to further nail down my knowledge.
Working as a Network Tech only gets you this far.
I honestly have no idea between the differences of the two without looking it up. I took my Net+ back in 2007. The new test and objectives should be fun because it covers all the new things out there to include SCADA. Pretty good stuff.
From my experience doing certs, I really love the "All-In-One" series books. Mike Myers has been authoring the Network+ (and other books) for a while now and he has a book on Amazon for the n10-006 version. I would highly recommend getting that!

Alright -- given that, you have a lot of learning ahead, and hopefully your friend/mentor/referral truly understands that.
Don't ever try to claim you know something when you've never heard the term -- never be afraid to ask questions and always seek to clarify things proactively rather than figuring you'll catch up on it later. Be prepared to drink from the firehose constantly and to feel like you're inadequate, that you know less than everyone around you, and to question whether you're doing the right thing daily. But be careful that you recognize when you are making progress to avoid the lingering effects of Imposter Syndrome as you grow your career. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome
If you're into reading and don't mind reading 500+ pages in the next 3 weeks, I'll recommend the following books. Understand that reading these will merely expose you to the topics discussed in order to have the training not be the very first time you're ever hearing basic terms. Don't try to actually do all of the exercises in the books or you will never finish them -- this is exposure and consideration only; if you have enough time, go back and re-read things you struggled with or want to learn more about.

I don't know much about blogs or videos available, but keep an eye out for those.
Good luck!
It was a little paragraph at the end of the IPv6 chapter in this book.
> Right, because there's totally enough of these jobs for everyone.
There are plenty of jobs in IT, Medical and Accounting field to name a few.
And while saying all you do is push buttons is a generalization, none of the other jobs like making food, filling orders, cleaning tables and taking out the trash is very thought intensive. Hard work yes, do you need to know a whole lot not really.
Look if your working in the fast food industry you should be learning that the job sucks and you need to get an education in something other then fast food. The lesson you need to take away from that is this I don't want to do this anymore.
Take some of your money and buy a study guide for IT work, get a few certs and get a job on a help desk some where, then you can study more and take some more high level certs and move up to a better paying job.
The CompTIA a+ 901/902 Test is around $225. Here is the guide you'll need. It goes for about 30 dollars.
The Network + guide Here is 40 dollars. The test is around $300.
So for $600 dollars, while not exactly cheap if you work fast food, you can get a better paying job that you can work into a career if you want to. The jobs and opportunities are out there if you look over that chip you have on your shoulder.
Here are 181 jobs that pay anywhere from 45K to 100K a year. Civilian Contract work pays real good. You just have to have actual skills a clean record and be able to pass a drug test.
> I'd love to see these people that are against higher minimum wages work at McDonalds for 7-8 hours or more a day during lunch and dinner rushes. Having to deal with asshole customers all damn day.
If that were indeed my life, I'd have to sit back and rethink it.
Not a video, but this book taught me a lot. https://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Network-Guide-Sixth-N10-006/dp/0071848223
CompTIA Network+ Great book as an introduction all around view of the subject.

I can tell you the Professor Messer videos are good, but in my opinion nowhere near enough to pass the Network+. I recommend the Mike Myers book and Darril Gibson's practice questions . Good luck!
