   There's no perfect way to handle that.   
      
   LM's strategy is probably the best for most. The problem w/ rollers is   
   that many of them get b0rken. Mjo has a rep for pulling it off pretty   
   well. A user can develop a strategy for dealing w/ reinstall; and also   
   there's 'something to be said for that'.   
      
   My problem w/ LL is that I greatly dislike the 'idea' of trying to look   
   like Win (or Mac for that matter).
