It's not that insulting to be called a noob, everyone is at one stage. Depends on whether they mean insult by it I guess...
The md5sum is for checking the isos were downloaded correctly. I've never done the md5check thing, I expect you'll have to get a (small) utility off the web to check the md5 against the CD.
Basically once you've checked the CD's or decided that they're probably ok anyway you burn them onto a CD. You have to make sure that the iso gets burnt to the CD properly, (there should NOT be a single ".iso" file on the CD) and also make sure the CD is bootable. Then you read a little on installation (especially partititioning,) back up your data, pop CD1 in your PC then reboot. It *should* automatticaly start the installer and ask you questions as it goes on what to do.
www.linuxiso.org has a few howtos on MD5 checking and iso burning if I remember correctly...

lol. now that thats out of the way, a noob is just short for a newbie, or someone who is new, whether its new to linux, the forums, or driving, whatever.
If you are new to something, you are a noob.
