If you have a GUI, you can run something called a 'shell' (see if there are any strange icons suggesting that). If yo uhave a GUI but can't locate the icon or menu item to start a shell, press [ctl][alt][F1] to get Virtual Console #1. Log in there and type your stuff. If you type 'exit' after all the other stuff, you should be dumped back into the GUI; otherwise press [alt][F7] to switch back to the GUI. Don't leave anyone logged in on the virtual console when you're not using it, especially not 'root'.
