However, I've found these scenarios quite invaluable for learning how
stuff works, especially when you take the time to find out what has
happened and how to fix it (like Johann is doing). If possible, try not
to take the easy way out and re-install the system - that teaches you
nothing.
It's how I learnt Linux, among other things. You eventually learn what
does what, and how, and where to look when it breaks.
