So, tradegy has struck. My BackTrack machine has a busted something... After an update that I did the other day (fairly large because I hadn't updated for a few days at that point), I rebooted and got the usual terminal output that you usually see when booting linux. That all seemed fairly normal. But then, tor started to do a little bit of weirdness. Usually, it starts up with linux (or BT, at least) unlike a Vidalia style thing but it usually doesn't output all of it's stuff so verbosely so that you see how far through it's checks it is. So when it starts to do that, I though 'Oops...'
