So today I learned that gentoo has a command called "rc". I won't
linux geek out on you, but I tyoped a command and put a ";" instead
of an "l" which resulted in "rc" being run. This caused all of the
system services to be stopped. Took a bit to get remote access from
teh host to fix this :)

Sorry about that, I tend to be a little reckless when I'm on my
server since I have to be so paranoid all day at work

You'll have to talk to a wiz, because the mud itself didn't crash.
The network service was stopped.

From what I've been told, the mud saves to disk very frequently, so
I'm really unsure what would have happened.

I did reboot the server when I had remote access, since shit was
"down" I fugred it'd be a good time to to test the new kernel out
:)
