My newest computer was was zapped by lightning last summer and In the process of trying to salvage my files I made a mistake and deleted about 150 gig of data that I had saved for years including my LFS and BLFS sources.

I won't be doing much major downloading and os building due to the limited bandwith till I can afford newer hardware and broadband again. I don't remember the version of Xorg I was using before disaster struck but the Nvidia proprietary driver was superior to anything else I tried.
