If my linux machine stops functioning it's
not as bad as the windows box going off line, but it still takes a day
or two to get things back on line with the linux box with all the software I installed on it.
If the windows machine stops functioning, then yes it's a pain, it's at least two days
by the time I get back up and running because much of my work is graphic design
and that's where all my adobe stuff is loaded on, and it takes a long time
to get the OS re instlled, then grabbing my data, and re installing many many
software applications etc.
Because I am a one person company I just don't have time to spend days
getting a machine back on line, and it's happened more than once. An hour or two
however to get things runing again would not harm my work flow that much.
