So, fresh installs are still the best
Hi Len :)

I prefer Arch Linux, the rolling release model usually does work
perfectly good.

Indeed, with a rolling release model this isn't true. I'm using
debian/sid since a long time now, never do a fresh install, and there is
no difference to a fresh installed system at all.

Been running Sid for quite awhile. At times, doing an upgrade has hosed things. Then I boot the machine from Aptosid live CD and restore my system drive image ...

Haven't done a fresh install in years, although I'll have one coming up sometime when I'm finally able to replace my dead main laptop. My present laptops are 32-bit; the new will be 64-bit and running 64-bit Linux. I've found only one program I use (a proprietary photoprocessing app) that won't install on 64-bit anymore. Even their "64-bit" package just attempts to install the 32-bit version along with IA32-libs ...
