For online resources, I'd start there, sepecially for installation and admin
guidence. I don't know about online programming resources that are specific
to Linux.

Probably you have Red Hat set up to boot into its X-only runlevel. To change
this, edit /etc/inittab, changing the line that reads (approximately - this
example is from a Slackware system)
id:3:initdefault:
to use the number of a runlevel that does not start xdm. If I recall RH
correctly, runlevel 5 on RH runs xdm, while 2, 3, or 4 just start ttys on
the virtual terminals (in character mode). Then, once you have X set up to
your satisfaction, you can either switch back to the X-only runlevel or run
"startx" from the command line.
