Buy new hard drives, install them and install the latest version of your 
favourite distribution and configure it in a secure fashion.  Make sure that 
all passwords are different.

Trying to remove root-kits etc might be fun if you're running a "honeypot" 
system, but if you are running a business or some other organization that has 
aims other than playing with Linux machines then a complete re-install is the 
best option.  Otherwise you'll just end up playing cat-and-mouse with the 
cracker, and they'll probably start randomly deleting data files when they 
start losing.
