Hmm.. Well this is like your Ultimate guide you will ever need :) (If you have Feisty Fawn)

All your questions will be answered here. Also about obtaining "Sexy themes" I would recommend beryl, install instructions can be googled or found in that giude.

Also I recommend signing up at http://www.ubuntuforums.org . The community there is extremely friendly and if you need help you will get a response very quickly.

Hope this helped.

yeah, serisouly, playing with this stuff can be dangerous and ruin your installation (trust me).

make sure you know what you are doing before you do it, linux will let you delete itself :P

A distro is the type of Linux you are using. For example, Ubuntu, Fedora Core 7, Gentoo, PCLinuxOS, Debian are all Distro's. Basically means distribution. :)

If you didn't understand that here it is straight from some site I googled,

A Linux distribution or GNU/Linux distribution (or a distro) is a Unix-like operating system comprising software components such as the Linux kernel, the GNU toolchain, and assorted free and open source software. Some proprietary software is found in certain distributions and is not free software. A Linux Distribution &#8212; or distro, en parlante &#8212; is created by individuals, groups and organizations from around the world
