Luckily, in all my lifetime of using Linux, I personally have never 
encountered a problem with Linux, be it any version of Debian, 
Slackware, Mageia (the distros that I use constantly), or any other 
distributions that I briefly test out, which required full 
reinstallation. I hate reinstalling OS because of some problem, that's 
Windows way of doing things. I believe that short of rm -rf / everything 
that's done can be undone.
