I can't answer this crisply. Probably if I had 20 years of Unix I'd feel like you. I almost never *need* to start over, it just gives me warm fuzzies and I don't worry about "bit rot" (read: ignorance). For server racks and my XP partition, I follow your approach. For my (solitary, single-user) Sid workstation, I like this for now. Eh. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
