Amusingly enough, this server is my VMWare box. It'll be hosting WWW, FTP, and Zimbra (of course).

Again, I agree that there is little real reason to reload a system. For me, I like a fresh clean system. Is it an artifact of an M$
world?  Maybe.  Personally, I think it's just that I enjoy going
through the new installers.  I like to see how things have changed.  I
like getting a system cleaned off and building it again.  It helps me
stay fresh when helping others installing their systems too.

Yes, you are right... I'm doing something I don't need to do.  But I
like it.

It's sort of like pulling cat through a | .

This is one thing I hope to use Virtualization for.  When I want to
explore an installer or learn a new/different Distribution, I'll build a
VM around the experience.  When done, I can keep or kill it at will...

At least in theory.
