Still alive :)

Download took 3 hours. I overwrote all modified (by me) scripts then tweaked 
them back as needed. Things went pretty smoothly with a few minor hiccups

- Good : Installs Latest nvidia drivers (177.80)

- Bad : Autogenerated xorg.conf was borked with syntax errors, I had to run 
nvidia-xconfig manully. No biggie.

- Excellent : Autodetects my RealTek ALC662 card now and supports 5.1 sound 
out of the box 

- Expected:My php.ini failed to cater to Queensland not having DST, I had to 
manually set my timezone in it (Australia/Brisbane)

Otherwise no real issues, old recordings, rules etc still preserved,

Looking excellent so far. Mytbox is in use at the moment so I can't check the 
new plugins.
