If it's on a drive you've kept using since you posted this email, reach 
for your backups.

Othewise, remount that sucker readonly NOW.

Most likely, you own't be able to recover everything, but read the 
undelete howto and be prepared to have fun with debugfs.  Check 
freshmeat though as I think some scripts might have been written to 
automate it.

As a rule, once you delete something in unix, it's gone for good.
