dhatcher,
While I'm just a few notches up from being a Linux newbie, I'll chime in on wget.
wget is a simple way to download a file off of the web without the need to use your browser app.
Since DSL is a minimalist Linux Distro, many apps are executed a the command prompt, and wget falls into this catagory.
For example, if you execute the following at a command prompt, 'wget http://www.google.com', wget will download the HTML home page of Google to the current working directory.
To determine your current working directory, just issue the command 'pwd' at the command prompt. That'll be the directory/path where the wget command will save the file.
To learn more about wget try issuing 'wget --help | more' at the command prompt (use the space bar to page through the output).
I'm afraid my terminology is not Linux-speak, but I hope this description helps a bit.
