What to do

Thanks to all for the valuable feedback you gave to my query, I
greatly appreciate it.

I think the way for me to go is to build a new box and put Fedora on
it, then just transfer whatever files I need and wipe this system clean.
Unfortunately then I will have to put 2000Pro on here, since I need a
windows box for college, but who knows, maybe I can even work around
that, one can hope.

Thanks again.
