I've ran into this question a couple times where people ask me if I am familiar with linux. What does this usually imply? I know how to navigate a command prompt in Ubuntu, edit files, compile c programs, but I feel like I am only scratching the surface. Any tips on how one becomes a guru in linux? Thanks for any advice. Hope this question isn't too subjective.
Strange question, it depends why someone is asking. There's no limit to the amount of stuff you can know about Linux but it sounds like you certainly know more than the average joe off the street. I'd say you 'know' linux to most people, but be wary of saying that at a LUG.
The question isn't, "are you a guru in Linux". It's, "are you familiar with Linux."
Most people expect you to stretch things a little in your job interview. You can safely say you're familiar with it. In the worst case, you'll just need to read up on it the first day on the job :-)

If you look at http://bambuser.com/v/2846316 you can see a developer with two monitors, in the video this person is spliting the screens into multiple outputs of an editor. And switching the content of them... Does anyone know how to do something like this ? Or the editor he/she is using ? I think the distro is Archlinux and the website on the movie is http://japh.se
EDIT: Ahhhhh found it. Depends on the type of the Windows Managers ! :D I was looking for Tiling windows managers :D
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Window_manager
Could anyone recommend me one ? Thank you
Looks like awesome to me, which is very nice for that and is my windows manager on arch linux. You can also have a look at xmonad which is quite equivalent but older.
For the editor its not clear for me since I dont see him use it so I cant distinguish between vim and emacs.

I would like to dive into the world of SharePoint, but don't really know where to start. Maybe I haven't searched hard or long enough, but browsing through Stack Overflow gave me very little pointers.
So long story short, does any of you have pointers for me where to begin with learning SharePoint, what to do and maybe more important, what NOT to do...
My background: I have experience in Perl and Java, and I'm fairly new to C#, but still in the process of learning this language.
Thank you in advance!
I would strongly recommend you become at least reasonably fluent with C# before trying something like SharePoint as its not a particularly easy platform to develop for.
Having said that a great place to start is with the channel9 videos take a look here http://channel9.msdn.com/Tags/sharepoint?sort=viewed

I have put almost all the programming languages I have worked with on my resume, while I am only proficient in Java.
I would split the programming languages into Basic and Intermediate sections if you know some languages better than the other.
The last thing you want is the interviewer asking you some esoteric question about a language that you only know basics of and judge you for it.
Well, just tell the truth. If you have an experience in C++, tell them. Be honest and don't be afraid to say you're a bit rusty with the syntax, that's it.
Anyway, if they ask you to program an algorithm live, most of the time you can do it in the language you prefer, even pseudo-code (according to my experiences).

I'm thinking about joining a free software project in order to increase my knowledge of how this kind of projects works, colaborating with people that I dont know (so far), and my C/C++ skills.
I`ve searched on sourceforge and so on, looking for projects that need developers... so my question is: how to join a existing project? (and find one I like)
Pick one you like/are interested in, look over its bug tracker, and contribute patches. As you demonstrate your ability to work along with the developers, you will generally be offered greater involvement (e.g. direct commit access).
#geekosaur has some good points. (+1)
If those don't work, I would consider looking for the lead developer of a project (preferably one with decent activity and leadership) and asking what areas they would like assistance in.
I promise you, almost every open source project manager would absolutely welcome a fresh face to the team!

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
