Here comes my dirty little checklist for you:

( ) Have you mastered at least one of the three most used shell implementations ([ba|da|z]sh)?
( ) Are you fluent in grep, sed and awk?
( ) Have you mastered |, > (>>) and < (<<)?
( ) Have you mastered &, && and || ?
( ) Have you mastered job control (ps, kill, ctrl+z, fg, bg, nohup ...)?
( ) Have you (fully) mastered the Debian package management (apt-*, aptitude, dpkg, dpkg-*, dselect), including the creation of a distributable package?
( ) Do you know how to add/remove/activate/deactivate/autorun/blacklist modules in your distro's init system?
( ) Have you mastered cron and at least one of it's iterations?
( ) Can you live without a shell for a while and still do all the tasks you would do with a desktop (using vim/emacs/nano, screen/tmux), including frame buffer supplements for your graphical tasks?


I've copied and posted that checklist for my own use; that's a great list!  I'd define this list as having 'operational awareness' of the system in general, and then when something goes screwy, or a project gets you digging deeper, the specific exploration begins...
