Drupal 7.x

Hi all, I'm currently using Joomla and looking at possibly changing to Drupal. (due to web hosters unwillingness to update from a very old version)

1. I am a wholesaler. My website showcases our probuducts but my retailers have to login to get pricing and place orders. Is this possible with Drupal?

2. Is it possible to install Drupal onto my PC to play with before using. I am a Linux user but do have access to a Windows PC if that is easier.

All help appreciated.

Hello everyone, I have played with Drupal off-and-on for years now, but in the past couple months I have been building my first site with it at theunallied.com

While I expect this to change in a year, all I want the site to do now is...
- Have a homepage and menu with links to all my games (I have a content-type, "game_release", for this)
- Allow me to post other bullshit without it messing up the homepage
- Have another page where I can see all blog posts (like a secondary homepage, mainly for site "fans" who want to know every detail of my mundane life)
- Let me create some specific pages that only authenticated users can access, like a web-based game Beta

Hello,
I installed Drupal 7 and I would like to choose a theme. But all theme examples I've seen are vertical. What I would like to achieve is this: make all posts on a page appear horizontally and not vertically, with standard pagination (around 5 posts on a page, horizontally, in 5 columns of around 400px each, with traditional horizontal browser scrollbar, menu on the left and on top and maybe bottom). I would like to do this with css and not tables.

And my little preference is Zen, but it is not obligatory, I just had some experience with it before.

Hello

Let's say a I have a node wich shows 4 Companies (in 4 squares), each one of them with a 'contact' button. When that button is clicked a contact form is show up which allow you to send a message for the clicked company.
How do I create a Form so that it can take diferents value for the recipient, subjetc,.... My goal is to use it (the same form) for all the companies. I don't want to create a form for each company.

I even would like the contact form being able to work fine if I added more companies.

Is there any way to get a list of modules available for Drupal 7, along with their current release? I'd like to be able to see modules that are at their first fully stable release, as opposed to alpha or beta. Of course, I believe that the standards are set by the owners, so a major module's "beta" could be more robust than a minor module's full release, due to more testing activity.
Thanks!

I would like to have a custom head element on the front page only of my website. To do this, I created a custom theme for use of front page only, but I also wish to have a custom head element on this theme, which means that I would like to remove the following in the head, but not hacking the core:

script type="text/javascript" src="http://mysite.com/misc/jquery.js?v=1.4.4"
script type="text/javascript" src="http://mysite.com/misc/jquery.once.js?v=1.2"
script type="text/javascript" src="http://mysite.com/misc/drupal.js?lhqhf9"

...and also the following css files:
