Just so you know, I removed the ajax stuff since too many spammers were getting through. Sorry. So far so good.

My dad's gonna get a bunch, but he's picky so he's looking for one on sale. Technically, my computer SHOULD be able to boot into XFCE4 right now, but I don't have qt compiled yet, so no Opera, and I don't have GAIM (or xchat, for that matter) compiled yet, so no IM, so I'm compiling those right now so when I boot into gentoo, I'll have everything :-).

My hard drive physically failed on me on my file server. Lost about 10GB of downloads but oh well, I managed to scab some little hard drives and put them all together. Maybe you should get a UPS? ;-) Bad luck. My hard drive physically failed on me on my file server.

I've heard that this can happen. You must have had some serious flickering to kill off a Reiser partition (even v4). I'm sure that's what saved my data the last time our power did that (more often than I like), as EXT3 was no match for our power spikes. Good thoughts about the stage 3 install. Doing stage 1 to say you did it is ok once, but its no real advantage since you can "emerge -uD world" and ge a system that's good to go, stable, and tuned. I'd even advise a GRP install, as you're gonna "emerge sync"a fter its all done anyways, right? Sorry to hear about the luck. I’ve heard that this can happen.
