It relates to the focal length of a zoom lens - in this case 28 mm being wide angle (but noit as wide as a fish eye lens) through to medium telephoto - 80mm or thereabouts is used by 35mm SLR photographers to capture portraits. A standard lens on 35mm SLR is around the 50mm mark. Note that I have used 35mm SLR as the reference - it varies deopending on the format - I believe digital SLRs are different also.

Will a 28-200mm vivitar lens intended for a Canon AE1 fit a Canon 1000D?
The Canon AE1 lens will not fit a Canon digital. You can buy an adapter that will allow the lens to work in manual focus mode on the digital camera.
How many lenses should I have for a Canon EOS system?
That would completely depend on your budget and the type of photography you intend to do. A good starting point would be a zoom lens that covers a wide to telephoto range for general photography such as the 28-105 but of course you have to take the crop factor in to account when buying lenses. This is dependant on the image sensor you are using if it is a digital camera. If you are using a film camera or a full frame sensor then the focal length stated on the lens will be what you get. But if it is an APS-C sized sensor there is a 1.6X crop factor to accout for. On the professional 1D range most have the APS-H sized sensor which is larger and gives a 1.3X crop factor. This would mean that using the 28-105mm lens would actually be a 35-132 for the APS-H and 44-167 for the APS-C. So if photography is a hobby and you do not want to be spending thousands on professional L series lenses then you won't need more than 1 or 2! I hope this helped you! I personally use a 28-80mm and 100mm because this allows me to do my two favourite things; Macro and Landscapes.

What does the mm mean on a camera lens?
The "mm" marking represents the focal length of the lens as measured from the optical center of the lens to the film plane when the lens is focused at infinity. If the lens is a zoom, focal length is expressed as a range such as 28 - 80mm, which means it can be infinitely varied from one length to the other. Most zoom lenses accomplish this in part by varying the position of the optical center. The focal length or zoom range is typically indicated on the lens barrel and/or the area surrounding the front lens element. Lenses that accept accessory filters are almost never marked with a filter diameter or series size on the lens, though screw-in filters have the diameter indicated in millimeters on the filter rim. Since many lenses are stored with a filter in place, this might easily be mistaken for a part of the lens itself, particularly with screw-in filters, which normally sit flush with the front diameter of the lens barrel.
Is one 28-105 mm lens as good as getting 2 lenses eg 28-55mm and 55-105mm?
Having one lens for the entire range of 28 mm (wide angle) to 105 mm (2x telephoto) means not having to change lenses for both ends of the range. If you do not change lenses, then you save valuable time when taking pictures, and since the camera is does not have to be opened, as when changing lenses, then you do not have to worry about getting dirt and dust in it. The only advantages of having two lenses for the 28-105 mm range would be if they were of better optical quality than the single lens, or had lower f-stop ratings, meaning they were "faster", that is, allowing more light into the camera.

What is the best all around camera lens?
Well...there isn't one. The best all around lens FOR YOU depends on what camera you have, the kinds of things you photograph, and how much money you want to spend on a lens. If you were an Associated Press staff photographer you would shoot two-thirds of your work on a Canon 24-70 1:2.8L lens. If you specialize in photographing man-eating African animals in their natural habitat you would not choose this lens as your all-around optic; you would pick the longest lens you could possibly find - 600mm would be more like it.My Nikon has two lenses, a 28-70 zoom and a 70-210 zoom, but if I was being sent to the other side of the world with one lens I would take a 28-105. It's got a small enough zoom range that it'll be good at both ends - which the superzoom lenses are not - and it'll still give me a nice range of focal lengths.
