2 questions:

(1) where exactly is this Wake Tech place (address of the building so I can 
mapquest it)?
(2) Best balance of fast/easy/safe way to back up my current Debian/XP 
dual-boot hd so I can raze it and install a debian only system with a fresh 
kernel? I've got a UNC-CH CCI-issue ThinkPad T30, a spindle of CDRs and a 
friend's external drive (USB 2.0) with about 10G available (I think it's 
vfat).

Thanks in advance.
