I have seen many really good hacks and many who love to play with this
Release and Linux in general. What I haven't seen is any real advice on
preemptive measures for error recovery. What do you do if you need only
one or two files to fix the system but you can't get them because your
system is down???
One piece of advice I will give is this. If you have the hard drive
space, or even a old hard drive lying around, make yourself a backup
system. As seen below I have one (From my grub.conf) because I do screw
things.
