I am also new to Linux.  I found this article and followed it.

http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/10/17/remove-ubuntu-kernels-you-dont-
need/

I was running -7 but also had a failed install of -9 and -11.  I used 
synaptic package manager to uninstall the incomplete -9 and -11 kernels 
and then to re-install the -11 kernel.  The re-install of -11 worked 
cleanly.

I did just look again, though, and I am still running -7 and that is all 
I have in the grub menu.  So I am not sure what needs to be done to 
actually run the -11 kernel now that it is installed...
