/etc/network/interfaces
to set up a static ip instead of DHCP

this doesnt make sense
are you cd'ing to the directory or trying to use vi to edit a file in there ?

2 Installing And Configuring The Rest Of The System
Enable root user
Now I can login with the username and password I entered above. First I enable the root user for ease of installation. You can disable it later if you want.
sudo passwd root
su
Now we are logged in as root user.
Configure The Network
Because the Ubuntu installer has configured our system to get its network settings via DHCP, we have to change that now because a server should have a static IP address. Edit /etc/network/interfaces and adjust it to your needs (in this example setup I will use the IP address 192.168.0.100):
here is the address

Sounds like you were attempting to execute it..
Code:
nano /etc/network/interfaces
then
Code:
/etc/init.d/networking start
(or restart if its already running)
