Aaarghh!!!
Actually, it may not be that bad. My machine is standalone and I'm the
only user. I'm thinking of doing a clean wipe, and resinstalling from the
CD. Of course, that would mean reinstalling all my applications all over
again. Could I still use the RPMs and tarballs I've downloaded, or is it
likely that these are compromised too?
As for my data, I can back them up and put them on removable media or
upload them somewhere.
By the way, I suspected something was wrong a long time ago and actually
downloaded some system binaries from the Red Hat site. I reinstalled some
stuff (like tops and ps) and they now work like they are supposed to. It's
been a month and I haven't lost data. I guess that should be nice to hear
but I'm pretty sure that doesn't mean I'm safe. Time to backup!
Thanks a million!!! God bless!
