Good start from : Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx was installed and free Linux programming ebooks were requested. pointed to the Linux Documentation Project and suggested using Ubuntu help and learning Bash; those are useful first steps. Note that 10.04 is very old and no longer supported, so a maintained release is recommended for safe, up-to-date packages and docs.

Recommended free, authoritative resources (short descriptions and direct sources):

Quick environment setup on Ubuntu (install compilers, headers, man pages):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential git manpages-dev
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Learning path and practical tips: start with shell scripting and common command-line tools, then learn C and POSIX system calls (use the GNU C Library manual and man pages), practice with small projects (network clients/servers, simple system utilities), and study real source code (coreutils, BusyBox). Use a virtual machine or container for experiments, and prefer downloading books or PDFs from official author/project pages to avoid copyright issues.
