3- How can i install .bin software like firefox, blender, Google earth, realplayer and others that are not downloaded from repository.
Google Earth and firefox are both available in the repositories. Firefox is in the Hardy Updates repository. (Synaptic, Settings, Repositories, Updates.
For Google Earth in hardy, enable the Medibuntu repository:
Code:
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
Once the repository is enabled, install Google Earth (this is a metapackage, no version number required. current version 4.3):
Code:
sudo apt-get install googleearth

Re: Some general questions
1- System --> Administration --> Login Window --> Security --> Check "Enable Automatic Login" Select your name. That should do the trick.
2- System --> Preferences --> Screen Resolution
Other than that I am not sure how to answer your other questions. Good luck.

6- When i download an image or pdf file to my desktop or any folder it shows what the file is ( like thumbnail ), how can i prevent it from showing like that and to see the program icon that opens this file instead?
Open Nautilus and go to Edit > Preferences > Preview, and change show tumbnails from Local Files only to Never.
Re: Some general questions
4. save the files in /var/cache/apt/ or just use aptoncd (in the repos)
5. check out squid.
