I was wondering, which programming language I should use if I want to make a GUI installer for a Linux Distro? Is it GTK? or ?
Something like this: http://www.castellan.net/linux_firewall/fedora_install_1.jpg more or less.
It's for ArchLinux I want to try.
You can use any language for which there are bindings for a GUI toolkit supported on your target platform. Some examples:
C and GTK+.
C++ and gtkmm.
C++ and Qt.
C# and Gtk#.
Python and PyGTK.
Python and PyQt.
This is by no means an exhaustive list.
In other words: start with a language you are comfortable with, and see if there is a usable GUI toolkit available for it, either natively-implemented in that language or through bindings.

I want to learn to write custom code in Inno-Setup installers using the [code] section.
I want to know which programming language is used for that purpose and if there's a book or books I can read to know the language syntax, learn typical usage and see practical examples.
Inno Setup's [Code] section uses Pascal (or Pascal Script to be more exact, thanks to TLama), likely because Inno Setup itself is written in Pascal Delphi.
For books on pascal, see https://stackoverflow.com/q/1665458/492336

I want to write a simple applet to put in a tray. Let's say it will be for gnome taskbar or tint2. My applet should show system temperature or any other simple information by probing at a fixed amount of time /proc or maybe providing this info by clicking on the applet itself, I still have not decided.
My knowledge is limited, since I don't know where to start. What I need is some little info, on the difficulty of the matter, provided I'm fairly ok with bash, but that's it.
Where do I start and what should I read first? There should be gui, then is it gtk, qt or something else? Maybe somebody got a good link or just your opinion will be a good start for me.
Assuming you mean GNOME 2, you could start reading the document Gnome applets with Python. You will get the idea behind applets and how to do it with Python. For tin2 the API might be totally different.

In this programming world of ours we see C sharp and Java on the top. But these have rich library of thousand classes and function which become more richer with their new editions. Can we have a programming language which can give us more creativity and innovation inspite of this ever increasing library based languages ?
There are plenty of such languages: Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Erlang and plenty of others. You just need to stop trolling and do your homework.
Assembly. Can't get much more free then that.
In fact any decent library or framework is a language itself. A domain specific language. Of course you could have all the same functionality in form of a variety of "proper" DSLs, but it won't be that much different from the current state.

I'm reading a tutorial on building compilers.In the tutorial the compiler produces assembly 80X86 and I want to know if the programs made by this compiler would run in a Intel Celeron Linux.If not what kind of assembly the compiler should produce there?
It is hard to make sense of your question. If you are asking how to compile assembly code in Linux, http://asm.sourceforge.net/ seems to provide some information.
As for assemblers, there is GAS and NASM.
Celeron is x86. gcc will assemble things for you. (the -S option, I believe.)
Yep, simply use nasm. Works perfectly here. Good luck.

I have tried a few EXE extractor but they don't work on a lot of files. I am looking for something better.
What kind of .exe? Win32 / DOS / .NET?
If .NET, you should use Reflector (http://www.red-gate.com/products/reflector/)
If Win32 and C++, you can try decompilers posted here (Is there a C++ decompiler?)
There are a lot's of extractors/decompilers on the market, so you should say more explicitly what is your goal (ie. to extract images, decompile assembly source etc.)
there is a simple way just download a zip view like winrar winzip and open the .exe with that it will show you all the components
