1) I would suggest you to get a Linux distribution like RedHat or SuSE. If you don't want to spend money on them you can even download them for free. Have a look at www.redhat.com or www.suse.com. However if you decide to buy one, they both contain some good manuals which will help you with the installation and the basics.

Furthermore they both come with loads of software, basically everything you'll need for a start.

2) Perl, PHP mostly for webstuff.

3) As I said before, you'll find all the tools you need to get started on the CD's of the distribution.

4) You'll find loads of basic information on www.linuxdoc.com.
Then there is of course google.com which will find the answer to many questions you mayhave. Also there is a lot of information about Perl, PHP etc. available on the web.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
Ns_AbsoluteUrl, Ns_ParseUrl, Ns_RelativeUrl, Ns_SkipUrl - URL manipulation routines SYNOPSIS
#include "ns.h" int Ns_AbsoluteUrl(Ns_DString *pds, char *url, char *baseurl) int Ns_ParseUrl(char *url, char **pprotocol, char **phost, char **pport, char **ppath, char **ptail) char * Ns_RelativeUrl(char *url, char *location) char * Ns_SkipUrl(Ns_Request *request, int n) _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
Ns_AbsoluteUrl(pds, url, baseurl) Construct an URL based on baseurl but with as many parts of the incomplete url as possible. Return NS_OK or NS_ERROR. Ns_ParseUrl(url, pprotocol, phost, pport, ppath, ptail) Parse a URL into its component parts. Pointers to the protocol, host, port, path, and "tail" (last path element) will be set by ref- erence in the passed-in pointers. The passed-in url will be modified. Ns_RelativeUrl(url, location) If the url passed in is for this server, then the initial part of the URL is stripped off. e.g., on a server whose location is http://www.foo.com, Ns_RelativeUrl of "http://www.foo.com/hello" will return "/hello". Returns a pointer to the beginning of the relative url in the passed-in url, or NULL if error. Will set errno on error. Ns_SkipUrl(request, n) Return a pointer n elements into the request's url.
