Open Source PC

I have two hard drives on my computer. One is C which the computer boots Windows XP from, and the other is drive F which is only used for storage.

I want to install ubuntu on drive F, and still be able to use it for storage. I would also like it be so that I can drag files onto drive F in windows, and be able to see them in Ubuntu. Is this possible, and if so, How?

I am buying a laptop that does not run on Windows XP. It uses Open Office instead of Microsoft Office. The only way I can print documents off is if i send it to my desktop computer, which runs on Windows XP. Will i be able to open my Open Office document on my Windows XP desktop computer?

I am running Fedora Core 5 on my laptop and I have Windows XP Media Center on my desktop which is connected to the internet via LAN. I want to know how I can connect to the internet from my laptop using my desktop’s net connection. I already have all the physical connections set up (network adapters and cable) and I’m already using my network for file sharing. Please don’t offer any suggestions on using Linux as host (I already know how much safer it is). I want help on dealing with situation as it.

Incidentally, I’m also facing trouble using ICS from my XP partition on the laptop. It used to work flawlessly before, but I think after I installed Fedora it stopped working (although file and printer sharing areOK). I ran the ICS wizard again on each comp, but it didn’t work. Any suggestions on what might cause that?
