I have an installed Ubuntu version 16.04 running with Kernel version 4.4.0-64-generic
How can I upgrade the kernel to 4.10?
I have a docker container hosted by 16.04 can I install a 12.04 distribution into this container?
I have an older server that still has Ubuntu 7.10, is there a way that I could update this since it is no longer supported?
lsb_release -a gives:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 7.10
Release: 7.10
Codename: gutsy
I did the following instructions from here and they don't work for me: How to install software or upgrade from an old unsupported release? :
sudo sed -i -e 's/archive.ubuntu.com\|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
then updated with
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
and then:
do-release-upgrade
and i get this error:

How to clean launch a GUI app via the Terminal (so it doesn't wait for termination)?
If I have a terminal open in X-window, I can start a GUI app from the terminal. If I give Ctrl+C, the GUI app closes and you get back the prompter in the terminal so you can write commands again.
For example: If I run gedit, it starts but it doesn't return control to that console so I cannot reuse it for other commands, If I want to regain control I need to do Ctrl+C, but that closes the GUI app. I need the GUI app to keep running but also to use further the console to start other apps or run other commands.

Although the above situation is obvious, I didn't find any preinstalled vmware image for Ubuntu.
Is there a trusted free vmware image or an OVF image with Ubuntu preinstalled?
Note: OVF image works with most of the players!
