To convert that bike to a fixed gear you need to check and see if the rear hub has a fixed side to it. If it does all you need to do is buy a cog and lockringand your good to go. If not then you need to get a new rear wheel that is fixed. Also you will want to get some foot retention, i.e. toe clips and footstraps.
The difference between a fixed gear and a single speed is the lack of coasting. There are advantages and disadvantages to riding a fixed gear, just like withany bike. Of course there are people who are just doing it because its a fad, but the same can be said about just about anything.
