Let us know!

I was going to suggest getting out the chainsaw, i.e. burning a new 
install disk on another machine, backing up all your data, and starting 
out fresh.  It seems that every second or third time I upgrade Ubuntu it 
torks something and I need to do just that.  On the one hand it's a 
royal pain, but on the other it's like moving into a new house with no 
dust in the corners.
