You're better off asking some of these questions on the ubuntu-users
list (ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com), this list is for the discussion of
Ubuntu documentation

If you're doing it via the net, then for the next three years, or so yes
(after that time I think the download is removed). If you're doing it by
cd, you can do it whenever as you like, assuming you have a cd.

Nope, 6.10 has newer releases of some packages, and lots of 'under the
hood' work.

Could you tell me which page? I'm not sure what you mean, but I hope
this answers your question. When you add extra repositories (see
https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/extra-repositories.html)
more software becomes available. You can install the extra software
using the Synaptic Package Manager (system -> administration -> Synaptic)
