Though absent, i'm fine.
The system, on the other hand...
Once again this machine was murdered by it's operating system. Linux seems to like to upgrade the OS invisibly in the background without warning the user, nor seeking permission. Had it asked, i could have told it that power would be disrupted within the hour. But, it doesn't believe that the User should be part of the process of owning and operating their own machine, so...
For the second time this was turned into a brick by OS arrogance. Might as well be using a microsoft based machine. (And, in point of fact, if i can find a good laptop that can run Windows 7, i shall)
Meanwhile, i'm booting off a USB stick while seeking direction and solutions.
If any Linux users know of a distro that does NOT auto-update, do speak up, eh?
I'll be back before too long. Just need to sort out a fix and implement it.
See You Then
