thanks for quick reply, I appreciate your feedback.
I have just encountered an unexpected error after I ran sudo apt-get update and wondered if this was related to my previous steps above....

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
hugh@DELL-VOSTRO-LINUX-LITE:~$
so I ran the command suggested...
Code:
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Code:
hugh@DELL-VOSTRO-LINUX-LITE:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

I notice there are errors above but I'm quite new to linux so don't know how to fix, any help would be appreciated.
I ran sudo apt-get update again and it completed ok

hugh@DELL-VOSTRO-LINUX-LITE:~$
then I ran uname -a
Code:
hugh@DELL-VOSTRO-LINUX-LITE:~$ uname -a

hugh@DELL-VOSTRO-LINUX-LITE:~$
Not sure how to fix this as I'm still learning linux
EDIT: When I restarted laptop, I couldn't login, just froze after entering password, cursor not moving. So I decided best to re-install as I didn't have any data that was worth keeping. Hopefully it will go better second time round.
