I have Ubuntu 6.06 and I'm trying to download Flash Adobe for Linux so I can watch videos. Unfortunately, I am not much of an expert with computers. When I am about to download, it gives me 3 versions of Flash to download. They are:
.tar.gz for Linux
.rpm for Linux
YUM for Linux

Also, once I download, I come to somethihow to use it, there is one folder, another folder in that, and then 2 more seperate folders. Out of those 2 folders, there is one folder in each. One says Flash plug-in, and...

 You are not clear whether you are configuring client or server.
If you configuring client then simply do the following steps:

vi /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver

 As far as the cd-rom problem goes, I've had that problem on one of my older computers. Since I switched to Fedora Core 2 (these days I don't use that computer). Red Hat does not make distributions with a small footprint which are not very demanding of your computer. If you have an older computer I recommend Ubuntu, Linux Mint or if you have access to knowledgeable friends, Debian.
As for Internet, this is the information:

You generally type...

 (a) Ask your hardware vendor

(b) Find out yourself by reading manuals

(c) Or run the following commands:
Here is output from one of my production Dual Opteron server:
$ less /proc/cpuinfo

 [root@HCMRTG_BY_YaoBin ~]# less /proc/cpuinfoprocessor       : 0vendor_id       : GenuineIntelcpu family      : 15model           : 4model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHzstepping        : 10cpu MHz         : 3000.370cache size      : 2048 KBphysical id    ...

 Simply type the following command and if you see lm in output, you have a 64 bit system:

 For everything else there is Linux

WHY LINUX IS BETTER
http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/

I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 6 Main Edition which is Ubuntu based. Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled.

You would be best off RUNNING IT LIVE so you can get the feel of things.

Linux Mint 6...

 There are very few virus for Linux out there. Because there are very few people use linux asapose to windows so making a virus for windows would effect more people then if they had it affect linux OS.
Also Linux OS is very secure thanks to the fact they have several community programmers that can find security loopholes.
