okay...
Neo - "If you don't know how to write code, you might want to learn first. Maybe my suggestion was premature for you, since you are only 16 and don't have any formal education in programming or computers, or so it seems.

Are you still in high school? Does your high school have computer programming classes?" - Yes, I'm still in high school. I'm home schooled though so I don't have computer programming classes. Almost everything I know about computers I learned myself. You're right though, I don't know too much programming stuff. I know plenty about building, repairing, and upgrading computers and I've done plenty of that stuff... computer programming wise though... I don't know that much. I did a tiny tiny bit probably a year ago(it was with bash though and I was following commands written down) and what I did I liked. But I don't remember any of it. So, yeah, pretty much everything with computers I know I taught myself. I am willing to do the tutorials on cprogramming.com though and I do plan to do that. I really want to get started in programming though because I'd really like to do Systems Administration.

reborg - Okay,I will definitely do C first then, and I can do LFS(linux from scratch) along with it as well. After I finish learning C should I go for C++?
Just wondering...what is systems integration? I might already know what it is and just don't know the name for it... just wondering though.
Thanks agagin everyone!
