   Not sure how that fits into the thread but...  The library guy had a   
   kernel panic after doing updates and trying to create VM. Not interesting   
   in itself but it dropped back to BusyBox. I didn't know that was still   
   around but from there you can run fsck without having to fire up a live   
   session from a thumb drive. However he just restored the whole thing with   
   RescueZilla. Handy to know. I don't know if it's a Debian/Ubuntu feature   
   or if it's something Mint throws into the mix.
