? about WordPress, BlueHost, Hostgator & Linux?

I have a GoDaddy domain. I’ve been reading about hosts and hear that Bluehost & Hostgator work well with WordPress. Just now I come across a site though that explains that Hostgater run on Linux which is an operating system? like Windows. I have a computer that runs Vista. If I get Hostgator to host my site, will this Linux program somehow mess with the rest of my computer?
Please excuse my ignorance. I’m trying to learn…
And from what I understand I need to get WP from WP.org and not WP.com because I need to be able to add code. Is this the version I will get if I sign with a host???

Download Adobe Flash Player for Linux ?

I know what package & everything to download, but I can’t. Here’s what happens:
I click download. The box that says ‘Opening adobe-release-i1386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm’ pops up.
The options are ‘Open with’ & ‘Save file’. I’m supposed to open it, correct ? So, theres the drag down box next to ‘Open with’ for what to open it with. The selected one is ‘Archive Manager (default)’. This is the one I try to use, because it’s the default & when I looked under the other options I couldn’t find anything that seemed appropriate. So, I hit OK & two boxes pop up. One is just completely black & the other one is on top of it & it says ‘Could not open adobe-release-i1386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm. Archive type not supported.’ I have no idea what to do. I’ve looked through the other options for what to open in under, but I’m lost. PLEASE help. PLEASE. I can’t do anything if I don’t have Adobe Flash Player and it’s SO annoying. So, PLEASE help me. And, please be as detailed as possible. Thanks[:

1. Which is the best version of Linux & why? (links appreciated)?

2. I only have one PC so I would want to try it installed to a separate partition, alongside windows XP using multiple boot options – I assume this would work?

3. The main reason I want to dump microsoft (& kick bill gates in the nads) is that every time I get a faster processor or more memory, billy gates’s bloatware slows it right back down again (most things seemed to happen faster when I was using a 386SX). IN GENERAL [app dependent], would linux be an improvement in this area?

4. When I remove windows completely, will I still be able to communicate with MSN messenger buddies?

5. How would you describe the learning curve for someone who’s used to windows?

6. In your opinion, Is Linux likely to increase it’s share of the domestic market, and therefore pursuade more software developers to port their products to Linux?
ADDENDUM: I’d also like to know how system stability compares to windows, ditto for overall security – I think my current AV (AVG) is available for Linux but I haven’t checked to be sure.

Poll: Open source in the public schools?

Russia mandates that Open Source software (free software, for example: Open Office, and certain versions of Linux) be used in public schools. If the school does not want to use open source, then the school can use its own funds.
Would you be in favor of such a policy? Do you support or contribute the Open Source movement?

Which "Flavor" of Linux is the best?

I really don’t know very much about Linux but I am very anxious to learn about it. In your opinion, which version would be the best for someone who is looking to learn the "in’s & out’s" of Linux (Red Hat, Linspire, Mandrake, etc.)? Which is the most user friendly? I have heard a lot of good things about Linspire. What is your take on this? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Beginner in Linux and printer driver?

I have tried following various forums, but I am completely lost.

I started using Linux two days ago. I have 64 bit MINT 10. I do not know more than rudimentary command prompt.
I bought a canon PIXMA MP250 printer.
Now I need to make the two work together.

I am pretty sure my problem is with getting the drivers. Can someone give me a step by step and exact command prompt needed (if any) on how to get this printer to work? Including any commands I may need to type or things I may need.

Basically, I can’t get sudo apt-get install ((anything)) to work…I am not even sure if I am using that right.

I think the drivers I need are located here:

http://support-au.canon.com.au/P/search?model=PIXMA+MP250&menu=download&filter=0&tagname=g_os&g_os=Linux

But I don’t know which one(s) or what rpm even is..and another forum said I need to "link the filter" because I have 64 bit…and I am still clueless.

Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

REDHAT & FEDORA LINUX
Any Specific Hard Disk partion format needed ? & which to install first FEDORA8 or WINDOWS when having multiple operating System ??

I think it started when I started year 3, but whenever Harry walks past a mandrake even in a pot that isn’t screaming he still covers his ears & walks really slowly. It hasn’t affected anything yet, but I feel like my game is getting a little glitchy and wondered if anyone else has that problem.

Adobe Flash Player for Linux?

Trying to install Flash for x86 it takes me to this page where I can download one of three ways, tar, rpm or YUM. Not sure which one to download they said to put it on the desktop; is one easier to work with than the other, also their directions for running the install were a bit vague, said to run

./flashplayer-installer

from the terminal but once I got there the terminal didn’t know what I was talking about. It may have done something in the background I wasn’t aware of and I may be missing a step.

Can anyone tell me if I can swap out Suse Linux 10.2 for another Linux OS? I’m not too happy with the version I have & I want to replace it.
