My turn for a messed up PC

[chudley]

JUst recovering from a serious glitch in my system hence being absent for a while.

The end result was a complete re-install ( which Ihave had no need to do for years)

Possible likely cause - downloading a distro of Linux using bittorrent.

Lesson learnt- dont use bit torrent.

Just hope my system stays stable for a while, or until it (they are sold) as I need the cash to build a PHWOOR machine

Hahaha, bit torrenting linux...

Why? Most linux distros are free.

I dont understand how a BT download can mess up your computer?

Well if ya want Ubuntu 5.1 I have a whole load of official CD's

Agreed :crazy: . That's really weird, what indicated that BT or the Linux torrent was at fault?

the torrent probly had a virus or something.

If that's the case, time for a better AV proggy... *cough* NOD32 *cough*

Well, I am presuming that one of the PC's the distro was coming from had something malicous on it, guess I will never know
