I think that you actually only want to install your os all the time, but  
not actually use it... strange. However, I think that one should do the  
installation only once and then read books and documentation to learn.  
Learning by doing (the installation!) doesn't seem reasonable to me.

I have also deleted the recovery-partition without writing those  
backup-cds. It doesn't bother me at all. _If_ I needed that other os, I  
would install it from some other media. And I still could search in my  
trashcan for the burnt sticker to prove that I own that system.

Regards,
Csaba
