8 “I'm taking my system off-line for up to two days. I'll ping you all when I return.” Formatting the disk, reloading the system, including all application software and user files was a piece of cake, that took less than a day. However, downloading and installing 100+ MB of Microsoft "critical security" updates and service packs, just about broke my balls.
Anyway, I'm back, but give me a day or so to catch up.

Get or build a second box, get you a KVM switch to share Monitor , keyboard and Mouse and dedicate the second one to Linux ( no fancy stuff in the box, plain vanilla ), grab SuSE 9.1 professional download, less than 30 minutes to an hour and come back on the internet. Download Firefox and use some Unix commands and you are ready to go. Don't use the Windows box on the internet any more than absolutely necessary! Much less troubles, don't check on Drudge, he even tries to crap up a Linux box.
