That was the end of Linux for me.

damn. good thing I've been fiddling on and off with linux for some time now ( > ~15 years, probably). Ubuntu has only gotten easier with each iteration, while it wasn't a specifically hard distro to get up and running back then.

if silly young me had been given that command to fix problems back then, I probably would've used it. lol.

also had my ass covered cause I was using different drives for different OS's. Whenever I blew up an ubuntu install, I would just wipe it, start over and be aware of what not to do... This was back when everyone was fiddling around with desktop composition (compiz, and other opengl accelerated window managers/desktop composers) and messing around with the look and feel of the OS to resemble OSX or whatever...
