"fw" meens firmware.
"exe" is for windows and thats an executeable.
".gz-.zip" thats compressed files.
".deb" is Debian, the one with the red swirl.
".dmg" is for Diablo
You have to use the .exe flasher thats for windows xp 32bit.
About the firmware "fw" you have to find out wich one you are running on your phone. That can be done with the first link in the thread i pointed you to in my first post (thats the one where you type your imei no.) You can find it here if your device still works: field IMEI in Settings > General > About Product
Ps: somebody correct me if i'm wrong
e: The FW only comes in .bin files and shoud contain to images when unpacked. One for root and one for emmc. So the question for you about the FW is only what FW are you running?

"deb" comes from debian, but maemo uses the deb format, so it's best to say it's an installable package rather than something from debian.
Isn't dmg the extension used by Mac OS X packages?

about the frirmware, i think this one is the compatible for me "RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM.bin"
Latest Maemo 5 Middle East and North Africa release for Nokia N900. isn't it? I am in the Middle East.
now i think I can start reflashing my N900. do you think the same?
sorry for disturbance and i will disturb you later.
thanks a lot for your help

I installed the flasher and the firmware as discussed before.
I went to run and wrote cmd, after that the command windows appeared.
there was :C:\ Documents and Settings\Ali Harmouche>
I wrote after that C:\Program Files\maemo\flasher3.5 , nothing happened and I received this message:C:\Program is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
After that I tried C:\Program Files\maemo\flasher3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM.bin -f -R
but I received the same message.
Please advice.
After that I entered the page of downloading firmware and I don't know what I should download since there are many items.
is the downloaded "maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.exe" is the right one? and what I should choose for the firmware?
once you will help me by these questions, i will continue and i will ask you again for any problem i face when i will make reflashing for my N900
