Problem:
My computer spits out nothing but jibberish all of a sudden, and none of the software I need to do my job seems to exist at all.
Answer:
Linux somehow got installed on my PC. Instead of trying to figure out why XFree86 won't even start Gnome in 640x480x16, I went down to the nearest Gateway Country and paid my Microsoft tax again and got a new machine. Now I'm beholden to Satan, but at least I can type my term paper and play Railroad Tycoon again.
OS:
I'm not really sure, but I suppose if I post that question to a Linux newgroup, after the inevitable 100 messages blasting me for not knowing how to grep my home dir and pipe the result to sortman with the proper '-drx {[l]xx'x} | out>ksr.dat' command line, they'll eventually tell me I shouldn't have a computer in the first place, and then someone might actually give me a USEFUL answer!
System:
I'm not sure any more, I smashed it all to hell with a jackhammer.
(Take this in the joking manner it was meant, lest I start another Linux Jihad here. And YES, I DO use Linux, I'm not a complete feeb, and I DO know I made all that stuff up (well, except for the X thing... damn I hate X!). Dude, your taking this seriously ALREADY, aren't you?!?).
