Critical

It's a long and embarrassing story, but basically my computer's been broken for the last couple months. (Horribly failed fix to a slightly failed kernel upgrade.) I've put a new hard drive in it, and am putting Mandrake on it right now - I still need to hook up my old hard drive afterwards to recover all my personal data, get the drivers for everything (nvidia, blah) installed, do some weird trickery with home directories, transfer everything from this computer that I've been using in the interim, install all the programs that I normally use, make sure those programs find my old configuration files, and probably some other stuff I've forgotten.
