While I would typically agree with most of the folks on this list<br>
who would say that there is no reason to reinstall... I know I did it<br>
quite frequently when I first got started in linux. Eventually you<br></div>

years or so... even though most of my hardware has been upgraded twice<br>

I have been using Linux as my only home operating system for about a decade. I don't reformat and reinstall on my personal computers... but unless someone can tell me what they heck is wrong with this system, why shouldn't I just spend a few hours reinstalling and reconfiguring it rather than a few days or weeks trying to find out what's wrong?<div class="HOEnZb">

I was just pointing out that many long term users prefer to figure out what went wrong rather than just getting things working again as quickly as possible; however in some cases it makes sense to just reload.</div>
