On the other hand -- there are people like me who like to play around with Fedora; adding new programs that hardly get used; trying out different configurations; experimenting and learning. Doing a new version install lets me get rid of all the cruff and start over every so often.
I agree. New linux users will install and never use many programs. A clean sheet every 6 months will prevent the entrophy from forming on those systems. Also, the more they reinstall, the faster the newbies learn. Experienced linux users might not need to reinstall so often (less crud on the system and less need to pracitce), but they should be less bothered by a reinstallation. At a minimum, it will force them to backup once every 6 months :) Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com
