Lol... it might be a good idea to actually research something as major as a new operating system; especially since it could easily wipe out your whole partition if not done right.
Distro means distribution -- there are many different Linux distributions, all built off the main linux kernel. For beginners (like myself) I'd recommend Ubuntu.

Google it, you have to change your sources.list located in etc/(package manager name)/sources.list and add the site that has it. Instructions will be given if you look up "How to install WINE in (insert distro here).
If you use Fedora Core use this: http://www.fedorafaq.org/
If you use Ubuntu use this: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper

Lol, Linux without Wine?
If they won't let you install Wine, then that means they won't let you install any other programs, right?
