dear let me know which distribution of LINUX you're using this time and want to learn more about?

Yes, linux is free, since it is open source. The best way to learn a lot about linux in a short time is to install gentoo.

http://www.gentoo.org/

The gentoo handbook is also worth taking a look at (some people that don't even use gentoo use the gentoo handbook as a reference)

I agree with Kage. However if you want a more easy route into Linux you could try ubuntu
