Came home tonight and I really wanted to work on the "replies" feature just for something to do.  I get home and I can't even get on my linux box, the HD finally died.  It had been going downhill for quite a while I was just hoping that it would change it's mind.  It's still under warranty, so I'll just have to mail it back to Seagate.

So I've spent most of the night reinstalling/reconfiguring all the stuff on the drive.  Luckily I was able to get on it long enough to get all my MP3s etc off of it.  I think it went bad because the power kept going on and off here at my apartment a couple weeks back.
