I agree with Murda, by wiping out your home install you may well have lost valuable forensic evidence. If they did get 
in your home system first then into work, then an audit would let you know of any changes to the server. You could lock 
it back down in a few hours considering that no major services were root kitted, but then the question remains do you 
continue to use the server? In the back of my mind I would have to wonder what timebomb was left on that system.

The good thing is that one compromise led to the other, not sure the order, I'd have to say home was done, then work. 
It's far easier to get into a home system than an enterprise system.
