there's a difference between linux newbie and bitcoin newbie

Here's an ubuntu 11.04 guide (no need to be running the latest ubuntu, it will cause you more trouble than is worth ATM)

BAMT is the easiest though.  Just stick it on a drive, ssh in, change the password and edit 2 config files and then just start mining.

You use bitcoin mining software (ufasoft, cgminer, phoenix etc.). You start them with the correct parameters, they will work their magic and use your cpu/gpu processing power to mine Bitcoins.

If setting up an efficient mining farm is too difficult or too expensive for you then you could always invest in a BTC mining company on the GLBSE.
