Yes. The Scarlet Pimpernel. Sir Percy is my favorite literary character hands down. As for your other questions, I will try to answer them if I can. I'm afraid I'm not yet educated enough to fully grasp half of this. As of right now my Acer laptop that runs Linux MATE is awaiting a new battery. Funny how it's battery drained within minutes as of two days ago. Yes, I mean minutes. Both myself and my spouse watched it happen. As far as my Dell desktop is concerned it will not allow me to upgrade or update. I keep getting this message: "Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?"
This whole mess really put a damper on my passion to learn Linux Essentials. That was my initial goal. Instead I've been forced to figure this out so I've thrown myself to the wolves, so to speak, in order to learn any and all I can regarding all aspects of IT.
Are there folders and/or files I should look for or that anyone out there might suggest I look through?
