finally got my web server of sorts up an running after configuring a million and one things and learning tons of new stuff poring through geeky documents.

THEN

bloody hell, my hard disk one started jamming and making clicking noises and then failed and smoke came out. Followed by the ominious burning smell. AHHH....

Good thing I've two hard disks on it and the Linux is installed on the 2nd one. So I just lost my windows 98 partition with 1 game on it. But I lost the MBR too.. sigh.. gotta fix it again.. I was gonna just leave it happily running after finishing configuring.. sigh.
