Nanobox Back Up
What happened over here? Well, it's complicated. While I was trying to install an nVidia graphics driver, something went whacky and my computer locked up, so I had to do a hard power off. It seems that that did some serious damage to my filesystem tables, and I had directories whose parents were their siblings, a couple files were their own grandpas, and everything was just a mess. I managed to back up most of my personal files and website stuff (luckily, it was just the system files that were damaged). (Did I just say luckily?) I copied the stuff over to my other hard drive, formatted this one, and installed Ubuntu in place of Fedora (for various reasons). I think I finally have my system back to a workable state. Unfortunately, I forgot to back up Maple, which just happened to be the one thing on my system that I actually paid for, so I'll see if I can download it again without forking over another fortune.
