Dear Peter, dear Dave

Much thanks for your advice regarding my post, as well as your insight 
on the breached security issues using an unsupported OS. If I may ask 
you again how your input was meant dear Peter, I should add code inline 
in the future like so(?):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
dm at dm-ThinkPad-X240:/boot$ sudo apt-get autoremove linux-image-3.13.0-96-generic
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
   linux-image-3.13.0-96-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-96-generic
   linux-signed-image-3.13.0-96-generic
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
After this operation, 195 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Again thank you for your reply, you've all been very helpful and I 
appreciate it greatly.

Sincerely,

daniel
