To start the command line go to Applications->Accessories->Terminal. <br><br>sudo lets you run commands as the 'root' user (i.e. administrator). So for example, to copy something using this I would type:<br>sudo cp foo bar
<br>then it would ask me for a password - this is the same password you used to log in. <br><br>Don't be afraid to use the Help and Support option from the System menu. There are also the excellent ubuntu support forums or the support irc channel (use GAIM or xchat to access the IRC channel)
