If it is JUST flute you want to record then something like the Tascam DR-07X would probably be all you need (but a bog cheap mic stand would be invaliable) If however you wanted to get into voice recording, other instruments and building tracks, you really should be looking at an Audio Interface.
That means a much more complex setup and naturally more dosh!

I do like the portable recorders for quick and easy recording. The DR40x and H4n both will record 4 channels, and will also take external mics, which allows you to expand beyond using the internal mics. Its a relatively cheap and simple way to get into recording.
If you get a mic stand, you need to get a 1/4" male to 3/8 female adapter. The portable recorders, like the DR07x and the Zoom H4n, etc have a 1/4" screw hole for a photo tripod attachment.
