Really, yes, you want to rebuild it entirely from scratch. Most likely,
your machine will (at the very least) be used to attack any number of
networks - some of which I may be involved in administering :)

However, hopefully before you do that you can get somebody to find out
how the intruder got in (I don't have the time or the skill myself, but
we can hope somebody else will volunteer) - chances are it was some
insecure configuration or a not-updated-recently-enough package. There's
the off chance it's a new vulnerability though.
