    Hi Chris, That you see is the last part of $sudo aptitude update and 
it looks odd. Yes it is Hardy and it is getting older.

    I tried $sudo aptitude upgrade and to my my surprise it updated the 
computer with an odd False root system. I was not able to get it with 
the GUI download software.
