Are you a computer Moron?
voidmain:
It's not the OS reinstall part that is that bad. It's having to reinstall all of your apps again, reconfiguring everything back to the way you liked it (good luck), etc, etc, etc... It shouldn't be this way, and doesn't have to be.
lazygamer:
AGREED! Just out of curiosity, is it possible that you could set up Linux so that the entire OS is re-installed as if it were fresh, yet all your links and applications are intact? Of course that may be impossible, because "fresh" means getting rid of dead links and such, and you either have your old structure, or you have something fresh and clean. Or am I thinking too much like wind0ze?
voidmain:
I believe you are thinking too much like Windows. To be honest I don't remember ever having to "reinstall" Linux in the last 8 years. That's the truth. But I also know more about Linux and UNIX than your average user so any problem I ever had I was able to recover from without a reinstall. But I also back up my stuff, which has the added side effect of making your system never crash. It will only crash if you don't have backups. This is covered in Computers 101.
psyjax:
the MacOS never has these problems. You re-install everything stays intact. Only the system is redone :D
At leat in Classic, OSX may be diffrent now. Woulden't know, havent had to re-install it.
