Is there any (easy) way of checking the integrity of the core system?
I'm having a few problems running, compiling and installing a few applications and am beginning to suspect a disk corruption.
As an alternative to the integrity check, is there a way of redownloading latest versions and reinstalling all supposedly installed apps, without doing it piecemeal?

What filesystem are you using?

ext3

For file system check:
touch /forcefsck
reboot

My understanding of fsck is that is verifies the integrity of the file system, not the files, ie if a number inodes end up getting deleted, the OS would be partially degraded, but the filesystem would be fully intact.
I want to be able to restore the OS to its working state, assuming its not beyond "recovery".
