Start by opening a Linux shell. You can start KDE's Konsole by clicking on the terminal icon in the Kicker panel or by running konsole from your <Alt+F2> quickstart.
Trivia time
There are many ways to start a shell with your system. Other terminal programs include xterm, rxvt, and eterm, just to name a few. Konsole just happens to be KDE's terminal application.
From the shell prompt, why not try entering each of the following commands? Notice what they do.
