Linux is so friggin confusing

So now that it's my break I've decide to give to Ubuntu linux a try on my old box. I upped the ram to 160mb and trashed the win98se installation that was on it and proceeded to install Ubuntu.

First try: Error 18 while loading GRUB. Googled it. Seems to be something with partitioning the drive. Reinstalled it and manually partitioned the boot partition to be 100mb. Ta da! It worked.

But now that's when the trouble starts. All these weird commands at the terminal... I'm trying to get the wi-fi to work and I have no clue what I'm doing with all of these weird commands and errors about can't find the linux source kernel and shit. Argh so I gave up. I'll probably end up putting 98se back on it.

One more grade is out. Just as I expected: A.

Book selling is progressing. Bus272 is sold. BUY MY MACM316 book!
