I'm totally green to Linux, but it seems like I'll have to be learning quick, cause here in the office I am supposed to switch to that OS tomorrow.
Could you recommend any online guides / FAQ's on the subject, please?

The commands which you will need to learn greatly depend on your choosen linux distro. For example for Mandriva you almost don't need to know anything, for Fedora you will greatly use them and for Slackware you will rely ont them.
(so use your distro related forum, or google)
linux commands:
mount (attach device CDROM or floppy)
umount (detach device)
ls (list the directory)
cp (copy)
mv (move)
rm (remove)
editor:
vi (modes for writing/reading are changed by pressing insert, commands have format :q like quit,), nano, gediit
directory structure:
/home/yourname
or
/winxp
"your command to invoke installator" (yum, apt-get, pacman, ...)
linux configuration files:
/boot/grub.lst
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
