Every string will be tuned flat.
So, E will be Eb (E flat) etc....
Half a step, flat, half a tone, or a semi-tone mean the same thing.

I love playing detuned by half a tone, but everytime I jam with someone else or with a band or whatever, they are always in standard.
I'm the only person I know that actually likes to regularly play outside of standard tuning

So do all guitarists who play GN'R.

There are multiple reasons for tuning down... a) it sounds fatter... heavier. b) it is easier for the singer's vocal if he's a higher vocal, since the high notes can be a semitone lower... to the normal ear, that's not really noticable, but helps the vocalists voice. and c) it's much easier to bend the higher notes for lead guitar...

there's this little program called "Transcribe!"
u can find it here:
http://www.seventhstring.com/
one of the many goodies it has its that it can change the pitch of an audio file so that u wont have to detune your guitar.
also it can change the speed of the song without changing the pitch (perfect for that fast part of the solo of sweet child o' mine which clocks at about 4:03
)
