Windows XP SP2. I've turned autodownload off because I fear this will break things, as it has been reported to do in certain circumstances.
I think my linux box might be 0wned, because it makes "processing noises" in the middle of the night (might this be xscreensaver?).
Sometimes I fear that Windows will corrupt itself, as it has been known to do in the past.
Sometimes I fear that emerge --update world, or a kernel update, will make me Gentoo system unbootable.
Sometimes I fear that either harddrive will die for no reason.
Sometimes I fear that my Windows XP system disk will not boot.
This has probably been exacerbated by my Windows system not booting up do to some sort of Dell BIOS idosyncracy.
What should I do? Have any of you had this happen to you? I have gone so far as thinking I should set up my old computer with an ultra-stable gentoo configuration, firewall it completely (hardware router+iptables), make a new account for school on my fast box, and do weekly backups onto CD, which could then be put onto the stable box.
Is this beyond the realm of being security-consious?
Regards,
Andrew
