If you want to get down and dirty, may I suggest the Linux From Scratch project( http://www.linuxfromscratch.org ). It's really a "book" that walks you through compiling your own linux system. It also does a good job of explaining what each package does and why you need it. Everybody should do it at least once. ;-) There is also a nice overview/explanation of the linux boot process over at linux.net( http://www.linux.net/intro/linuxboot.php ). It's actually part of a larger "intro to linux" they have.
