From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Before you start trying to figure out which ram stick or ssd is bad, run “apt clean”. That clears the cache that it’s saying is all fucked up.
Right now it seems to be working fine, so I'll try that later if I have issues again. Last night, I used the "Fix MergeList problems" option in the maintenance tab of software sources and that seems to have fixed it.
