This finalizes most of the problems I asked above, thanks to craftyc and oscar2043

Remember, I talked about not having that blue screen Linux boot menu? That's because the "Trend ChipAway Virus" was enabled in my BIOS I suspected that should be the reason, as the BIOS warned "A boot virus has been detected in your system" when Linux started to boot. I had to press "[C] for Continue anyway, for each time I booted in Linux. Today I disabled it. And now I get that lovely blue colored boot loader screen

My second problem was: that eth01 was trying to detect a LAN connection and it delayed the Linux booting. As I unticked auto-detection while I reinstalled Linux, now it doesn't give me a pain anymore.

Also as Windows XP (or any other Windows) can't see ext2/3 file system, I downloaded a small tool from http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ and it supports reading the ext2/3 file system. I am able to copy files and folders from those partitions to Windows partitions.

Via a PM of craftyc I knew how to run VMware, (in terminal: type vmware).

From now and so on, I hope my questions are not n00b any more to ask under this thread in the future
Because, thanks to you guys, I now have a basic idea of how to install .tar.gz and .rpm files.
Also from my personal experiments I know a little.

Thank you very much for gaining me confidence and courage to use Linux
So see guys in other threads
