I've been using Firefox since it has been out. I found it in some ways better than IE, but...
There are hundreds of web sites, books and articles that will give you every command you could ever want, but I'm not sure what it is your interested in doing. If your a Sys Admin for an office complex you wouldn't be asking these questions, if your just setting up a home-office network you really don't need much in the way of commands. If you want to dive in and rewrite the kernel you'll need more then just a list of shell commands anyway.
I've never had any trouble networking linux systems. Mostly it's been a matter of plugging them into a router and hitting the On button. Even print jobs to a central printer were preconfigured.
I'm currently using Mandrake 10.0 Powerpack Edition. It comes with Open Office 1.1, which I use for my main office applications. I also use Open Office with my WinXP system, by the way. You can get Mandrake 10.0 and the most current version 10.1, which also includes OpenOffice, from also give you KWord and AbiWord and half-dozen smaller text editors, ala Windows Notepad.

That being said I like my Linux system because it's more interesting to me, easier to set up in a lot of ways, I can install it on all my computers for no extra charge, it's not as prone to getting whacked with a virus or trojan and I don't have to call Bill Gates every time I swap out a motherboard, however Windows is still ahead of any Linux distribution in a lot of features. The "average" user who plays computer games in Windows will be very dissapointed with Linux, you can't find a decent greeting card program like Print Shop Deluxe, streaming video like .asx formats won't work without programming skills, mounting some USB devices requires the command line and root access, hardware support is more limited especially when it comes to sound cards and graphics adapters. The next version of Mandrake is supposed to address these issues and should be released in a few months. We'll see. -- Registered Linux User #267152
