Agree, just dive in.
+1 on the advice to create a virtual machine an learn there. After your
initial install create a snapshot, then you can easily revert to a
bare-bones clean install and practice doing things over and over. You
can also revert between snapshots to work on different things. This
really helps learning and testing. My rule: if I haven't created a
snapshot yet... I am probably tardy in doing so.

I'm still a fan of good old $$$ VMware Workstation. But VirtualBox
works. And GNOME3 now provides Boxes as well, a nice VM management
front-end.
