Server took a dive... I'll have to have the pic hosting site back up later... sorry

Urgh, damn lighting storm last night. I tried to shut the damn server off before the power went out and sure enough it went off and now I get some error when booting linux up (LinuxEDBA Too Big) so now I'm screwed for now... fricken A...

I'll have her back up before tomorrow. My appologies. (probably all user accounts and such wont be there anymore either )

Ouch!! That sucks.

The main reason I have every machine in my house on a UPS. Haven't worried about lightning storms in years.

I do too, but I still turn 'em off just in case of lightning striking a transformer in my vicinity and sending out an emp surge.

Really?

When I was much younger, I lived on top of a hill with very few trees. Had lightning actually pop the corner off a chip on my modem. That's when I learned alot about surgeprotectors. To this day cheap surge protectors survive an average of about 3-6 months in that house. Haven't tried a UPS there yet.

It would be interesting to see how my systems fair in the event of an transformer explosion. I will probably find out someday. For me it would just be a good excuse to upgrade. Especially sice my fastest machine is a dual 500Mhz machine.
