Hello Zohar. It sounds like you've stopped the computer and botched a critical update. As Ubuntu 7.10 is no longer supported, the simplest (by far) solution would be to save your /home/ directory then install Ubuntu 9,04. You are in for a nice or a nasty surprise (depending on your point of view) if you use KDE, though. Before proceeding with my advice, however, have your brother confirm or deny that it is a good solution. He's the guy that _I_ trust!
