Here's what I did to prepare for my latest job.

1. Break the time remaining into one or two week blocks.

2. Assign one layer of their stack to each week, starting at the bottom. ( e.g. OS )

3. Each morning make and practice flashcards for terminology or things that just need to be memorised, about the tech in that stack layer. ( e.g. What is the /opt dir for?)

4. Each afternoon work on a small project around that layer. (e.g. cmd prompt customisation)

5. Get plenty of sleep so you actually retain this information.
