Q. I have Gentoo and I love it except I can't connect to the internet. I have a Dell laptop 100L Latitude (hey! It was practically free). I am feeling rather slow so a really good website would be really helpful (Like "Installing drivers on Gentoo for Dummies" sort of thing) Or if it isn't as hard as it feels like right now and you can just explain it- that would be good too. :-D
A. It might be in your best interest to an easier distro to start off with gentoo is great but not for beginners.
as far as the net not working could be a network connection not set I have had this a few times on some distros. Any ubuntu based distro is a much better choice for a newbie I hope your time with linux is good but it might be less then you hope for with gentoo this early in the game.

I need a good practical source from which I can learn how to use red hat Linux any suggestions ?
Q. I do not need a cluttered source, I already tried official guides but those are too long and boring (Same thing with a " a practical guide to fedora and RHEL). I am just looking for a short hand book that teaches the basics of red hat enterprise Linux (create file, search files, move files, list processes, file permissions ....). Please help
A. At this level you can probably work with any book that covers Unix/Linux basics. Red Hat specifics are probably not so relevant initially. (Certainly you should be able to mix and match Fedora, CentOS, and RedHat.)
I've used books from the "Dummy's Guide" series before, and although I've not looked at the Linux one specifically it might be worth seeing if you can borrow it from your local library.
There's an interesting looking YouTube series, too.
Finally, depending on where and in which country you live, there may be a Linux Users Group nearby. Some of them are a bit geeky (possibly too geeky) but you should find people there who are happy to spend some time with you, maybe over a beer, helping you learn.

What book to use to learn Programming language?
Q. What books can i use to learn c c++ and assembly. I dont want to spend more then £35 for all 3. Should i use dummies or other books?
A. Hi,
Luckly for you, some great books are already available for free (legally, I mean).
* The Art of Assembly Language by Randall Hyde. This is universally considered the best book on x86 assembly. This book comes in two editions. The first one comes in three flavours: 16-bit DOS, 32-bit Windows and 32-bit Linux, while the second comes in a hybrid Windows/Linux version. You may find this a bit odd, but I recommend that you read the DOS edition because (a) the other versions focus on HLA, the author's assembler which is not mainstream---for good reason, and (b) DOS has a very simple API and you will thus be able to focus on the actual assembly without distractions (don't worry, this version of the book still covers 32-bit registers, instructions, and addressing modes and even a few privileged things that cannot be used under Windows/Linux). Once you're ready, switching to another OS will be a breeze.
You'll also need JWasm, a free MASM clone (i.e., the assembler for which the book was written) and DOSBox (an MS-DOS emulator) so that you can test the programs while you write them.

* Thinking in C++, 2nd ed. by Bruce Eckel --- This is a _very_ popular C++ book and its author is on the ISO C++ standards committee so you can trust that he is a guru.
Volume 1: http://www.mindviewinc.com/downloads/TICPP-2nd-ed-Vol-one.zip
Volume 2: http://www.mindviewinc.com/downloads/TICPP-2nd-ed-Vol-two.zip
* The C Programming Language, 2nd ed. by Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie --- A.k.a. K&R, this is still considered to be the best way of learning C despite being written many years ago. One of the authors is actually the creator of C, while the other is one of the guys who developed UNIX. You'll need to buy this one, I'm afraid.
