finally, a good friend told me that if I wanted to start exploring the world of networks first thing I had to do was install Debian jessie LinuxOS specifically use 64bit.
I like to click here and there and it seems to have created a problem with the apt-get upgrade.
E: Could not get lock / var / lib / dpkg / lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/ var / lib / dpkg /), is another process using it?

If you are new to Debian, starting with Testing is not the best idea. It is meant for people who are already familiar with the system. The best course of action is to use Stable, until familiar enough with the system to use development branches.
If by networks you mean a home network, not a problem. If, on the other hand, you mean a server, using Testing is definitely not wise. For a server, stability is of paramount importance. In that case, Stable is the only reasonable option.
im doing my homework reading the debian handbook.
i guess i can try with this one.
is not for work, home use only.
but thanks for the advice.
