I need to find an old driver (kernel/drivers/hid/hid-picolcd.c) located into the old kernel 2.6.35.14.
But I cannot find the version on http://kernel.org
I need just this file, or just one file. Is it possible to navigate a chosen version of the Linux kernel?

This guy? http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.35.14/drivers/hid/hid-picolcd.c

This website is pretty good for viewing linux source code:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.35.14/

Ofcourse you can browse through gitweb of all the different version of the kernel. The file you are looking for is in the kernel git repository for 2.6.35.14

Just click on the version you'd like to see at
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/hid/hid-picolcd.c

I am looking for GNU/Linux distribution which works in real mode. I want to install it in virtual machine so I can study assembly. Is there any one who can help me with it ?
There's ELKS, a subset of Linux suitable for the 8086 processor (ie, no memory manager unit needed, real mode only, etc). But I don't think that such a beast will be your best vehicle to study assembly...

I was browsing a directory on a Linux machine, and when doing a detailed listing I noticed that a link is pointing to itself, for example:
somelink -> /path/to/directory/somelink
I am wondering what is the reason for doing such a thing?
If the somelink is in /path/to/directory then this is an invalid symlink. If you try to access it, the filesystem will give you an error (probably something like too many levels of symbolic links*). It could have been a typo (or some other mistake) when it was created, or the symlink got moved somehow and ended up linking to itself.
There's no good reason for a circular symlink. Most probably, it was created by accident.

Hi I am a noob with linux server stuff.
I was wondering if there is a command in linux or there is a way to see which "user" has viewed or accessed a file in linux?
is there a such command?
I thought 'stat' command works could be a possible option, but after googling, I found out that someone posted here at the bottom:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/get-last-accessed-file-time-in-ubuntu-linux/
that there is not a way to view 'who' accessed a file. Is this true?
The audit subsystem can tell you who or what has accessed a filesystem object.

I need a small linux Text only version bootable installed on a partition of my hardrive, How can I customize a Linux version like redhat, debian, puppy etc. Please suggest some suitable distribution?
Depends on what you call small and what the purpuse of the installation is. I'd recommend [Debian stable][1] (Lenny) or [Ubuntu-server][2] for server-purposes. A really small distro is [Damn Small Linux][3]. If you just want to play around with a small-as-possible distro, you can try the time-consuming [Linux-from-Scratch][4].
Archlinux, definitely. But it's not programming related.

like what is X windows,Cygwin,file system
Well, first you have to choose which Linux distribution you wish to use/learn, then you just use that distro's documentation, which normally has allot info.
You can find here some linux beginner lessons: http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/toc.html
Finally the best way to learn, besides reading is "getting your hands dirty". Install a distro of your choice and mess with it :)
I think this is a great way to start
