Which CD you install depends on what your operating system is. Here is a
summary:
CD1 supports:
Intel Linux
Mac OS X
Windows 9X/ME/NT/2K/XP (Win32)
CD2 supports:
Compaq Alpha-Linux
Compaq Alpha-OSF
Irix
Solaris
AIX
Normally a card is inserted with the CD's prior to mailing, indicating the
above. I apologize if you did not receive it.

Yes. WinEdt is a popular choice. Please see: http://winedt.com

Here are a couple of URL's that may help:
http://silmaril.ie/downloads/ -- click on "The LaTeX Brochure"
http://www.tug.org.in/tutorials.html
The newsgroup "comp.text.tex" is a very good resource as well.
I do hope this helps.
