Bahh... it's not that hard. It's just an idea. You'll get the basics very 
quickly - then (I repeat what I've written in the other thread), it depends on 
you, what you want to do and how far you want to go.

One more thing: the (new) GRASS-GUI is wonderful. You can play with it and 
synchronously try to learn the commands (and their parameters). No need to 
start "only" on the command line, although I always recommend to myself to 
take a deep breath and dive - do not get distracted from fancy looking 
tools...

Absolutely! There are many (I assume... ;-)).
