Glad you enjoyed it. Real life is sometimes the funniest of all.
BTW I recovered everything lost on the SSD drive. Being highly paranoid, I
run rdiff-backup twice a day from crontab. It had backed up the SSD
completely a couple of hours before it died and was smart enough to not to
do anything after the drive died.

My fault... It was kinda funny when I finally
found out what had
happened. It wasn't Alt_Linux at all, they had nothing to do with it.
When I started the installation of ALT_Linux I moved the spare testing
computer into my room to work on it and borrowed my son's monitor because
I didn't have a spare one. The first thing I installed was ALT_Linux.
Since the install was going to wipe the system I didn't pay attention to
the install startup. Later when I saw the Russian Language box on the
screen, I thought "why not, it's a Russian build". Afterwards, when I
finished the second Q4OS install, over the original ALT_Linux install, I
noticed the box was still there. This led to hours of trying to figure
out
why, which I gave up on.
So, I took his monitor back about an hour ago, plugged it in and started
his computer up, and there was the box with the Russian text. Duh..... I
then asked him if he had seen this before and he said: "Sure, I can't get
rid of it." I growled... "What do you mean?" He said well, one day I
noticed you could change the language of the monitor and was playing
around
with it and turned on the Russian and then, since
I can't read Russian, I
couldn't figure out how to put it back to English and left it like
that..."
Sometimes I wonder why I had children....
Thank you for a very enjoyable story to start my day!!
Of course, nothing like that has ever happened to me! :-)
