There is a lot of documentation for linux, it may just be a case of 
where to look. For your specific question on connecting to the internet 
you can look at the relevant section of the manual at 
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/getting-started-guide/ch-ppp.html
but basically there is a nice graphical interface *Main Menu* => *System 
Tools* => * Internet Configuration Wizard*

I don't know about mpeg but mp3 is patented and there is a royalty 
payable, so as it is not free it cannot be supplied with free linux 
distributions. There are other formats which are free e.g  ogg vobis. If 
you really need mp3 then you can add it in yourself. The add-in for the 
xmms player is at http://shrike.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=1547

When you have quetions a good place to start looking for answers is the 
documents about this list that I referred to you, but also 
www.google.com "Google is your friend". Another good resource is the 
Linux Documentation Project http://www.tldp.org/ I'm sure others on this 
list can suggest other good places too.

Hope this helps
