How do you install drivers for your hardware on Linux?

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 am interested in becoming an white-hat hacker, but I know nothing. What's a good site to learn from?
Q. Like the title says I am interested in becoming a white-hat/ethical hacker, but I know nothing about operating systems and programming. What is a good website/forum to help me learn about this? Or what are good things to learn. I was thinking about Python and Linux?
Thanks in advance.

A. Try learning VBScript or Visual C++/C#/Basic
Those should work.
And also read HACKING FOR DUMMIES

Where can I learn more about Linux?
Q. I'm only in high school, but I'd really like to learn more about Linux, specifically securing servers, networking, and command line stuff. It's hard for me to learn on my own. Books are helpful but I'm looking for more of a classroom environment with other people I can work with.

My school does not offer any classes in Linux.

A. http://www.ubuntu.com/

It doesn't get any simpler. And, of course, there's Linux for Dummies at your local bookstore, the For Dummies series of books runs around $20 each and is usually the best bet when starting to learn from scratch.

And there's probably a Linux user group in your town -- Google it.
