Hi, i am very new to Linux, and confused about few things if someone can please clear me on these.

- what i s the command in Linux to find all the applications Installed

There is no single command that will tell you everything that's installed, but a lot of applications install links to themselves in your /bin and /usr/bin directories. To list the contents of these, use this:

ls /bin
ls /usr/bin

- What is Kernel and what is the command to know which kernel Module in Linux

Can you rephrase this question? The Linux Kernel is the brain of the OS. It is the program that runs all other programs and processes. To list all the kernel modules that are currently loaded, use this:

lsmod

and i will appricate if someone had any tutorial to better under linux like Linx for dummies

There are several Linux tutorials in this thread:
