When I get a new computer, I restore the operating system several times.  T=

the install media - and if it fails at first, it's under warranty so I can=

still get something done about it.

When I put in a new GNU/Linux operating system, I install it several times =

schemes, and learn about any gotcha's about it.

By doing this first thing, I have no worry about losing my data - as I don'=

I can restore any of my computers for diagnosis, disaster recovery, or resa=

and I still have most of my hair.
