Well, folks: It’s been a long run: About two years or so, since I last put this system up.

And that’s surely a long run: Previously – before I installed this new hardware, I was lucky to get three months on a system.

But now, what has come to pass, has passed. I have been limping along for months here. And now, among all the other bugs, I can’t even read PDF files. And I don’t know how to fix it.

No – it’s time to wipe the disk, and start from scratch. And of course, I will preserve precious data – and cache everything important elsewhere. But I really don’t know WTF I’m doing. So important stuff is likely to be lost.

So. before I go do strange and exotic things to my hard disk, any words of wisdom would be appreciated..
