I would suggest running Ubuntu in a VM, with Virtual PC or Virtual Box, until you get a handle on Linux. You need not use commands for day to day use, you'll pick them up slowly. Linux has come a long way. Just install and start using, no need to get terrified!

Where can I actually find a good list of commands?

You can start with this:
