Shell is sorta like 'cmd.exe' on the windows side. Its used to run commands which does various things.
What flavor Linux are you using? Some have a shortcut to Terminal when you right click, others have it via the "Start" button. To get the comands do a search on here and you should find tons of links to tutorials.
