I'm not a guru like most on this list, which is why I rarely chime in despite having been subscribed for 5 or 6 years, 
but Aaron nailed it here. I used this technique when I wanted to run my own DNS, mail & web servers and managed to 
teach myself all I needed to know to accomplish those things simply by reading what was available online. I also picked 
up a few books along the way, but everything you need is on the 'net.

-- 
Tower, Observatory
  You stand in what appears to be a room designed specifically
  for studying the stars. Lying haphazardly cast about the room
  are several charts with constellations, some neatly folded, 
  others lying left open. Beside a few of the starcharts are 
  several magical tomes.
