Honestly, everyone should give this site a look. A lot of the entry level lessons are just a really good intro to the basics of modern operating systems and how they really work under the hood. Then as you continue to dig in, you start learning how to break them / break into them. It's really good stuff presented in a very digestible format with real machines for you to test everything on.
