Ah, the pragmatism that comes with age.  I've been using Linux for about
thirteen years now and only once have I reinstalled from scratch in
order to solve a problem, and that was about a year ago when Debian
Testing got really, really messed up (modules wouldn't load, etc.).  I
realized life was too short for me to go through the long, arduous
process of fixing it so I reinstalled.

There's wisdom in that.
