lol ok. I did though and havn't heard anything from them yet so i just went on a did it. Im installing ubuntu-desktop right now (taking forever), but the next part kinda confuses me. Its the last line of code under the "Install Base System" part (right before it gets to the "Set up the bootloader for raid" part...about 1/3 the way down the page).

"# duplicate the root line except with your username instead of the word root to give your new user access to sudo
visudo"

Any idea what he wants me to do here?

edit: now its asking me for a password for root on localhost even though i never entered a password. Ive tried typing something into the terminal and hitting enter but it just gives me the same question:
