Right now? Re-installing Ubuntu 9.10 on my notebook. It was running, but I upgraded to Lucid 10.4 beta. It didn't offer anything (at least in the beta) I really needed, and had some beta issues, like not recognizing my display and providing the full resolution it can do. Returning to sanity required a wipe and reinstall from the 9.10 MinimalCD. I didn't have anything on the Ubuntu slice I needed to keep, so no loss save time.

Well, the notebook isn't considered a crash machine for no reason. I expect to have to do stuff like this. And it's an opportunity to do things right I got wrong the first time around.

Fun, for suitable valuse of the term.
