Has nothing to do with internet. He just thinks he's hilarious.
sudo runs another command as another user (default root). sudo is a third party app that makes using su (debatably) easier and more secure.
gedit is a text editor.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf is a configuration file for Xorg-X11 (GUI).
One of the most common noob problems is misconfigured xorg.conf files (which results in GUI problems, like wrong resolutions or scroll wheels not working).
Anyways, you're probably having trouble with DHCP. Ask on Ubuntu's forums.
Also, get a router. They're cheap (10-20 USD). If you don't have one, you're asking for trouble (especially if you run Windows like that). Note that a software firewall is not a replacement for a network (hardware) firewall.

5 rm is not recursive by default.

Also, a regular user only has r-x permissions for /home.

Configure following files:
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/network/interfaces
Then do one (as number: "1") of the following:
1. reboot
2. as root:
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up
route add default gw <router-IP>
if you already know you're an idiot just go buy a mac you'll fit right in.

To quote a Norwegian musician/songwriter/comedian:

Then what's with the quote tag not working?
quote
[quote]To make the day pass, I use a PC. To get work done, I use a Mac.[/quote]
q
[q]To make the day pass, I use a PC. To get work done, I use a Mac.[/q]
Problem is, when I see something being implemented, I tend to expect it to be done... well, I dunno... properly or sumthin?
And when the other tags work (b, u, i, etc), there's this "quote" tag included in the standard as well (as seen on Wiki, for starters). No (apparent) need for mail-style ">" markings.
