Your question are really quite general.
You should read some general Linux books.
http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz is a good start.
Then read the docs at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/

lsmod will show loaded modules, but not compiled in drivers.
The config files in /boot will show you how the kernel was configured.

For dependency information,
man rpm
man yum

lspci -v will show what devices use which loaded device drivers.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke
