Uhm, you sound uninformed, so I'll try to answer as generic as possible

1. Knoppix based on Debian (.deb packages, apt-get), so no RPMs (RedHat packages)
2. Wine is included in Knoppix and works out of the box (for me)
3. You can't transfer Wine from Knoppix to any other distro (well maybe, if you know a lot about linux, the linux-libs used by Wine, etc).
4. You can buy software like VMWare (emulates entier PC) or Win4Lin (emulates Windows), but Wine works also and is already installed.

That's pretty much covered it!

I'd add:

for differences in packaging systems, take a look at rute (do a google).

For Wine, start off with something simple -- notepad, perhaps.

You'd mount your windows partition and do

wine /path/to/executable/notepad.exe

wine /path/to/executable/notepad.exe
You'll probably like clicking on the executable in Konqueror, this works by default on Knoppix.
