(a) mutt
(b) tin
(c) Why bother?
$ ssh urchin
urchin$ rtin

(d) Lynx. Or firefox if you want shininess.
(e) If you don't have any other broadband access, then possibly. Getting a USB key and dumping stuff on that from a networked machine might be easier than lugging a laptop about just for file transfer.
(f) Whatever is run by the subset of your friends who are both clueful and helpful. I like debian flavour myself, although I understand that ubuntu is like debian but somewhat creamier and smoother.
(g) I'd always prefer to have an install CD somewhere. They're not difficult to find or make, and they're incredibly useful, particularly when things start to break.
(h) Dunno, I don't do windows.
