I ran the command ifconfig and in addition to lo and eth0 I got this item that I have never seen before. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Looks like some sort of Virtual NIC. Are you on a virtual system (ESX guest) or running any virtual software on the server?

This is common when you run a virtual environment on the same host. Do you have Virtual Box installed on this host by any chance?

No, it's just a computer with a few LFS systems on it. I built two LFS systems, resized a partition and then installed ubuntu server.

su root
ps -e | grep ubuntuone
kill above id's
I am guessing it is their cloud.. which is why i went to Mint.

Appears to be bridging interface. Did you install any new program recently?
