Hi C! Everybody here is willing to help you out, but they all presuppose some working knowledge of Linux (or Unix). I'm sorry, but you cannot expect anybody to take you by the hand; better ask some friend/relation. Better still: go to your nearest second-hand bookshop and buy some Linux-dedicated book with a title like 'Linux in 24 hours' or the like. There should be piles of other titles too and it doesn't matter that they are a little outdated: it'll give you some image of what it's all about... Read it and come back to us in a week or so, okay?
