I was just like that with the first Mandrake server I set up for my office a decade ago. Then you learn that Linux is fairly indestructible and that no matter what config changes happen along the way, a bit of reading of the latest release notes and a bit of tweaking and anything can be brought back to life. As for looking at another OS, it's great to experiment, but I'd be willing to wager that you find your way back to Arch. By far the most current, responsive and cleanest I've found. (I've tried a lot) Updates are going to causes changes in configs, etc. occasionally, that's just progress. One thing that really helps if you are using your linux box in a critical role is to setup another 'testing' box to test updates on and confirm all is well before updating the box you rely on. That will virtually eliminate any downtime. With P4 3.0GHz boxes being excessed for as little as $60 it's cheap insurance. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
