I have no idea about Linux programming codes. This is the first time I'm using Linux.
I've installed DSL from the Live CD to the HD and done all the stuff. From the Wiki it said that I can install GNU/Linux by right clicking and looking at apps/tools/upgrade...
But I can't find that. Can someone please help me? I'm using DSL 3.2

I believe you are talking about GNU/Utilites. These are replacements for the busybox collection. That menu option is discussed in the change log for v3.2. That menu option was basically a call to download gnu-utiils.dsl and then mydsl-load gnu-utils.dsl.

Do I need to install it? In the wiki it said "Recommended"
If I do plan to install it, what are the instructions? Sorry for being such a newbie but I really am lost with Linux.

You can get this via clicking the mydsl icon on your desktop,

or navigating your web browser to damnsmallinux.org > download > mirror > mydsl (then running mydsl-load on it).

If you are using unionfs there i think there's gnu-utils.unc that you can get instead.
