Ummm... the only thing you need to change is the location
of the file. If you don't know where to put the file on
Linux instead of "c:/" then maybe you ought to find out
before you go any further. A sensible choice might be:

go = open ("~/test.txt", "w")

which will put the file in the user's home directory.

Yes.

Yes.
