The trials and tribulations of a Linux user are not as sparse as we might think. Consider the following as one such reminder to this end…

A quick review for those of you who don’t score at home:

1. I run Linux on the desktop
2. A month ago, I corrupted my Linux partition and have been running Windows since
3. The hard drive may or may not contain bad blocks (read: I no longer trust the drive)
4. A new hard drive, therefore, was required to get back to Linux
5. I ordered said hard drive maybe a week and a half ago
6. Said hard drive was to ship yesterday

Now everyone’s more or less up to speed (not that it matters). What do I find in my email?
