Help with the information maze.

Please forgive me for asking the same questions that have been answered before but I am lost in a maze of information and as a single parent I don't have long hours for researching beyond certain point.

I just got my NC and I love it. I want to be able to use adobe flash and be able to install apps from the market while keeping it stable.

Questions:
1) What flavor of android is most stable, allows flash and is most compatible with market apps?
2) Is it possible to get the new flavor burned in a sd and make the nook boot from it without having to root or changing anything in the original NC?
3) In case (2) is not possible is there a condensed guide for dummies to accomplish (1).

Thank you!

EDIT: I found a great explanation here: http://quinxy.com/guides/how-to-pick-your-nook-color-operating-system-and-install-options/
To keep my NC original I installed CM7 on the SD using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
Good luck and have fun!

This has a root guide for a basic root that will gove you the market. I dont remember atm if Flash is working with 2.1 which is the stock B&N firmware. I believe you need 2.2/2.3 for Flash. Otherwise thats the easiest way to get what you need.

For CM7 (2.3) you dont need to root, just create a bootable CWM Recovery, and flash CM7 to internal, or make a CM7 bootable SD card, both can be found at XDA.

2.2 is the minimum version for Flash, but an update is overdue from B&N which will allow a few more Market items and enable Flash.
 
My understanding is that it will not be the regular Android Market but a B&N specific one that only carries the apps that they want on there. Correct?
