It sounds like you've installed the Server version of Ubuntu - this
doesn't include any desktop and consequently you'll be looking at a
command line until you install a desktop... to put it in windows
terms, you've got DOS but now windows. Before you spend a lot of time
struggling with the command line, you might want to consider
downloading the desktop installation media from
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

You can always use aptitude to pull down gnome, KDE or a number of
other desktops but if you're starting from scratch it might be just as
easy to pull a fresh ISO and install over the top of what you already
have, Either was you'll end up with a Linx distribution with a nice
desktop, so the choice is yours - if you have the bandwidth though,
I'll just download a 12.10 ISO, install and be done with it.
