I know your frustration. I became sooo paranid that I started shuttion off services right left and center, the next thing I knew was that I mest up my boot configuration.

When I try to reinstall my distro the cd was all scratched! damn. I only have a 2.2.0 linux kernal now, not a 2.4 ugh more work............. So I've been down for 9 days now. Thats why I ordered OpenBSD.

And I feel that it would be easier for administarting as well (I've been reading up on it ) because it is soo well built
