Say this again please? "By the time I'm done, I expect 5 for 5
failures". Are you crazy. "By the time I'm done, I expect 5 for 5
failures". The odds sux!

How many failures would expect from clean, fresh installs?

Would a "clean, fresh install" and then have to reconfigure
'something/any/many things, be a disaster? As opposed to an "By the time
I'm done, I expect 5 for 5 failures" upgrade followed by a "clean, fresh
install?", as opposed to a fresh install to begin with first, and a
re-configure after?
