What do these command do?



sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-backport-natty 
linux-headers-generic-lts-backport-natty


Does it install just a new Linux version or something more?



And what about:



sudo apt-get purge linux-image-generic-lts-backport-natty 
linux-headers-generic-lts-backport-natty


Does it just remove the packages installed by the previous command? (or does it more?)



If I am correct in all cases why it doesn't work? I get an error, so it means it's not true and something else had happened?



Edit:

as it was said that second command doesn't remove it, then would this command remove it? aptitude autoremove

The sudo command is allowing you to run the apt-get command with admin privileges.

The apt-get command is installing (first example) or removing (second example) software packages. "Purge" simply means configuration files are deleted too.
