What is the most common hardware component to fail on Linux systems?
Linux systems aren't any more prone to physical failure than any other computer systems. If you are referring to a device being incompatible with Linux, the most troublesome are probably controllerless dial-up modems (WinModems).
When information is sent from the CPU to memory or some other device this is considered?
Data and instructions from an input device are sent to the CPU. When the time is right, the control unit sends this information from the device to the arithmetic/logic unit, where an arithmetic operation or logical operation is performed. After being processed, the information is sent to memory, where it is held until it is ready to be released to an output unit. Basically, it is a form of storage.
Coaxial or Coax for short is used for both cable internet and for TV. TV uses an F-type connector, while in similarity, cable internet uses RG-59. It basically has plastic or plenum on the outside as the outer sheath and on the inside has a lot of mesh surrounding the copper core which helps transmits the signals that are being sent.
What is the name of the part on a laptop that powers the motherboard?
To be specific, I don't mean the power adapter , but the part it connects to. The part you plug the charger into. I need to know the name of it so i can replace it.

For windows XP get yourself a copy of diskternals. I have had some very good results in the past with this program.
Most webcams work under Linux; it would be very difficult to provide a complete list. This is because support for cameras is based on the chipset they are using, not the name of the actual manufacturer. Most cameras from Logitech, Aiptek, Kodak, Mustek, and Polaroid should work.

Is the processor celeron 450 any good?
On the net, it seems there is no Celeron 450 model, but there is a Celeron M 450 which clocks at 2GHz which is used in Laptops or Shuttle PC's.
The CPU is quite cheap compared to Pentium 4 and Core 2 Models but it handles day to day tasks very well. So if it is for business or office use then it would be ideal.
However, if you are looking towards video editing or mainstream gaming, then you should avoid it.
Project Gutenberg is a voluntary organisation where thousands of volunteers type in thousands of books so that people can download and read them at will. Its a massive service and saves us the trouble of browsing libraries and undergoing the frustration of not finding the book we want.
You can avail these services at www.gutenberg.com and www.gutenberg.org
The former is a more sophisticated site, the latter has more books.

What piece of hardware do EIDE cables connect to?
Typically EIDE cables connect to IDE Hard-drives and optical drives such as CD and DVD Drives.
The cable connects between the motherboard of the computer and the hard-drive or optical drive.
Normally most motherboards have two idea buses. You can have to drives per cable. So a total of 4 drives.
What is the difference between USB and scsi?
In it's day, SCSI was a great, high-speed disk interface. Today, IDE has pretty much taken over and SCSI isn't really worth the effort that it takes to support it. However, SCSI does have an option for an external connection.
USB is an acronym for Universal Serial Bus and it's a great way to interconnect devices with your computer.
Each USB device is SUPPOSED to have a built in identification code that allows the computer to identify what it's talking to. Drivers are available, either built in to Windows, Apple or Linux systems, downloadable across the internet or included with the device when you buy it.
Most USB devices are truly "universal".

Yes, There is a CPU relay under the hood in a fuse panel. I am not sure of the exact label of the relay but it should be large and black.
What is the definition of southbridge chipset?
The Southbridge, also known as an I/O Controller Hub (ICH) or a Platform Controller Hub (PCH) in Intel systems (AMD, VIA, SiS and others usually use 'southbridge'), is a chip that implements the "slower" capabilities of the motherboard in a northbridge/southbridge chipset computer architecture.
The southbridge can usually be distinguished from the northbridge by not being directly connected to the CPU. Rather, the northbridge ties the southbridge to the CPU. Through the use of controller integrated channel circuitry, the northbridge can directly link signals from the I/O units to the CPU for data control and access.
