You will find that information about a lot of what you need to do with
OpenSim is readily available online for free. For example, the
book "Version Control with Subversion" (aka "svnbook") is at:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/
NAnt is used to build OpenSim on Linux:

You should be able to install everything you need to run OpenSim (mono,
nant, subversion) with the package manager that comes with your Linux
distribution (ie: yum on RedHat-based systems, apt-get on Debian-based
systems). Also, if you're completely new to Linux, you'll probably
benefit from reading about the Linux command line interface. There are
a few, but chances are you'll be using bash. There are plenty of bash
resources online:

So, in general, if you need to learn something new, look it up on the
web and learn as you go. :D
HTH,
Mike
