[Yhslug] Saving the day

[Gabe Goldberg]

Along the theme of rescuing systems (not my story, but interesting):

Thunder storms in the Blue Ridge Mountains can come fast. That's why my 
main Linux desktop system was still up when one, two, three lightning 
bolts slammed near my home. Thus began my Great Linux System Repair 
Adventure.

Despite no fewer than three power surge protectors, including a master 
power protector for the entire house, just enough of a surge hit my 
Insignia 300a, an older Best Buy house-brand desktop PC with a 2.8GHz 
Pentium IV, GB of RAM, and an Ultra ATA/100 60GB hard drive, running 
SLED 10 (SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop).
