is gedit in Ubuntu or do I have to download it?

I don't know what to tell you....

I opened it up and it says "Software Sources"

and its giving me some options...

Ok... Got a card...

So, I followed your instructions...

I went
apt-get update

and it said access denied

So i typed

Well, I'll update you once I get a network card...

Do i need an internet connection to do this

It worked I got to the prompt and I typed the
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

And it said..

E: Couldn't Find package xubuntu-desktop

???

What should I do?

How do I do that? I looked all over for a nome Menu and I cannot find it...

Nope... All I see is My Last Login...
- The programs included with the Ubuntu system are free software; the exact distribution terms for each program are described....

The the last line is..... "...

Two things...
One: I can't see if I'm typing anything...
Two: When I press enter nothing happens after I type...

What should I do?

The other thing is...

When I press Control + Alt + F2... It takes me to a black screen where it asks me for myusernameand password. After I give my Username and Password... It says a whole bunch...
