So I was just wondering if anyone here has learnt SSH and could link me to where they found it out? My server/community has a Windows VPS and we're hopefully going to move to Linux for a better reliability, lower resource count and cheaper servers and apparently Linux is better.
I just need some tips on learning SSH, places, and if it's really better than Windows.

SSH can be learned all over the internet. There isn't certain things you will need to learn, but there are some basic commands that you will need to learn such as cd (change directory).
Whatever you need to do while on SSH and it pops in your mind, just simply search ****** and chances are you'll find a tutorial on it.
It all depends on what you're going to run. If you're just running a SA:MP server, and maybe a web host on your VPS then by all means, go with Linux. If I was going to run Windows, I would probably be running games on the Steam platform such as Garry's Mod, Team Fortress 2, and Counter-Strike: Source.
Neither is better. They just have different uses.

SSH is a network protocol. You're referring to Linux command line, I'd suggest learning basic Linux "commands" and then researching package specific information for your distribution (ie Debian, CentOS, Arch, RHEL).
Better now than somewhere important (ex a tech based job interview).
