First I think you need to go into the bios and turn off secure boot
which will automatically set legacy boot mode or maybe you will need
to make that chance. Some please verify I have this correct.
Then set your boot order to ODD as your first
Mint supports secure boot, so you don't even need to go to legacy boot mode
(which really only matters if you want a single partition larger than 2TB).

Every Dell I have ever bought runs Linux. Last year when I told the
Dell rep I was going to put Linux on the box he offered to send me a
recovery disk free of charge. Dell has proven to be Linux friendly.

Hey Keith. Is this for a production or development environment? For prod,
I have typically seen no home directory for users other than root (for both
Debian based or RHEL). In either distribution you can explicitly assign a
different home folder so you can do /var/www/public_html as the
I'm not sure I need to do anything with this now. I was upgrading with
apt-get and before it was done pressed cntrl-c before it was done. The last
thing it said was that the operation was interrupted. But when I ran the
command again the last line of the output said:

interrupting an apt upgrade is usually OK, but it can leave packages in a
bad state. If one of those packages are important, then it can be a
challenge to recover.
In this particular case, you probably need to run dpkg --configure

I was thinking, I could type in 'sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade'
but what would be a more efficient way?
sudo {apt-get {update; upgrade}}

sudo apt-get {update; upgrade}

When switching distros, there is often a thousand tiny differences to get
used to. Some distros like CentOS are really great as servers but make
less desirable desktops. Others like Fedora are just the opposite. In
the Ubuntu world, they separate desktop and server versons. It helps to

This is interesting:
$ sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
This way, it will only run upgrade if update was successful. (i.e. no
network error)

As Matt said, braces expand into the same command, they are not used for
multiple commands. FOR is used for multiple commands. While this is much
more work in my opinion, this would also work... provided that there is no
error.
$ for cmd in update upgrade; do sudo apt-get ${cmd}; done
