  1. [ubuntu] How to delete every folder named "derek" except "/home/derek" more than one week old.

  5. Re: [windowsfx] boot failure after system update

  12. Re: [windowsfx] boot failure after system update

    I'm afraid this is completely over my head, I'm fresh out of windows, and this was all working fine a few hours ago.
