03 stands for 3rd release of Maui and also March release.
Future versions will be based on year and month as far as I understood.
Aha, ok, thank you. It must have been a timing conflict, as yesterday when i checked the Maui blog there was nothing about the new release [hence i had no idea it existed already], but this morning the info is all there!
For the record, i remain very upset that it's come to this... a broken system & a necessary reinstallation. Had i been doing some crazy-mad cutting-edge experimentation with radical h/w & kernels, maybe i'd not be surprised... but all i was doing was simply using my standard system, doing humdrum day to day vanilla stuff. It should not have come to this disaster.
Finally, as the realisation dawned stronger & stronger on me over the past couple of days that my system apparently really IS irretrievably dead & hence i probably was going to have to reinstall, i've been agonising about the question/choice of the damn GPU. For better or worse i've decided to keep the Nvidia GT610 out of the Tower & just use the integrated Intel. That has seemed to be ok in all the subsequent LiveUSB sessions i've done since the cold-boot [before which the screen had no HDMI signal at all], & i suppose on that basis i should feel encouraged that it'll probably also be good enough once Tower is properly running again. I have a kind of foreboding though that if it's not good & i have to reinstall the Nvidia, everything might go to hell in a handbasket once again. Yes, i'm feeling pretty battered, bruised & uncertain at the moment...
