Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I just installed the new version of gcc with ./configure;make;(su)make install. But then I accidently ran make clean, what should I do to fix whatever I did :\
Also, what is the command to let me see how much free space I have left on my harddrive?
Make clean just removes some of the files created by ./configure and make in the source directory. It will have no effect on the install. If you want to recompile a program with other options for ./configure you can do "make distclean" in the source directory to return it to the state it was in when you first extracted it.
