Well, I did. I'll admit I have no idea what caused it but Apache
wouldn't fire up on my one box, so I had to restart the entire box.
I wanted to anyway to try to boot a new kernel; it's as good
an excuse as any. This after about 127 days of operation. I'm
going to have some rebuilding in my future, though; /boot is now
too small (8 MiB) to hold 2 kernel/initrd images. Sigh.
I suspect it ran out of a resource but frankly don't know.

I probably have lots of viruses -- in text form. :-) Fairly harmless
that way.

I have chkrootkit. It's fairly basic protection and is primarily post
mortem; if it indicates a positive result, one's already infected.
Thankfully, one can reinstall Linux in that case without too much
bother, and in any event it's unlikely to get infected anyway.
