    For your information, Linux doesn't have any .exe files.

    You can download the wine software here: <a href="https://www.winehq.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WineHQ - Run Windows applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS</a>

    I've once used WINE but I found that very few Windows apps run smoothly in it.
    Some apps like MS Office run very good.

    3.Can i copy data from pendrive in linux??If yes how?
    Yes, you can copy data from your pen drive in Linux.

    Do it the same way as you do in Windows. Just plug it and a new drive will be automatically mounted.

    1 & 2) For playing songs and videos you can use players like xine, Mplayer etc.
    Download and install from official site #-Link-Snipped-#

    3) Yes you can. Just by right clicking on file or folder and click copy and click paste where you want copy that file or folder.

    4) Linux does not support .exe files. You can use #-Link-Snipped-# or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedega" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Cedega</a> for running windows applications in Linux.

    No, it is not necessary to have that software in .exe file.
    Download the software from #-Link-Snipped-#
    It is present in .rpm file.

    "graphics.h" is not a standard library of C. So you can not implement it in RedHat.

    You can use X11 library of Linux GCC.

    For transferring data from USB, you have to mount it. You can use mount command.

    Better you should switch to other linux distribution like Linux mint 7, Kubuntu,mandriva, OPENSuse etc . They have all those things that you require preinstalled with OS.
    For installing rpm packages is not a easy job for newbies, it requires much patience. For getting rid of dependencies problem, you have to configure yum server. There are many open source players like smplayer,mplayer,vlc etc that you can install by commands like "rpm -ivh <packagename.rpm>" & then execute commands given in INSTALL file in the package directory created after executing the above command.
    Pendrive detection is generally automatic. If pendrive is not detected automatically then you have to mount it by giving command like " mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/pendrive" after making the folder pendrive (mkdir /mnt/pendrive)
    For running exe files, you have to install wine in redhat & run exe in wine environment (wine package is not an exe file, it will be rpm file). In case of other OS like Mint,Kubuntu, that I have mentioned above have wine by default.
    There are many open source C compilers avaliable like gcc. devC. devC supports graphics, but the coding is different from TurboC used in windows. I have even used turboC in linux Mint by using a program called DOSBox emulator, turboC will not work if you try to install it in wine environment.

    In case of ubuntu, there is a very large repositories of packages online that can be installed by commands "sudo apt-get install mplayer". It installs the package automatically from the repositories server. For removing the package "sudo apt-get remove mplayer"

    I prefer xmms. You will need to download and install it separately.

    3.Can i copy data from pendrive in linux??If yes how?
    It's as easy as it was in Windows. But more secure. In RH5, you need to mount the usb device. In later versions, they get auto-mounted.

    4.How to run EXE file in linux.
    Use Wine, Cedega or Crossover. I use to prefer Crossover due to its user friendliness but it costs $40. The recent version of Wine (1.1 afaik) is better though and I have made the switch myself.

    look samaira ... there is no need to play with linux if u r not a power user..
    if u use linux for simple work like for office than just stick to windows because it is very easy ease. But if u really wanna mess with linux than use a simple and easy to use distribution like linuxmint pclinuexos madrive . i think these are the best for a newbie.
    and of course you can hav them free of cost .You can order ubuntu online free of cost.
    just go to ubuntu.com

    As far as problem with multimedia files u can play them by just double clicking. yes in linux disributions i have mentioned u can.
    and the best thing i like abt linux is the gcc compiler which is the most powerful for building GUI based application...

    if u have any problem regarding the Linux OS feel to ask quiries....
