The joy of re-installing...

Well, I just had to do a re-install to fix a printing problem. Everything else I tried just made matters worse!

Although I could have done without it, it struck me how easy it was to get back to business as usual very quickly! All it takes is a little planning beforehand, some knowledge and experience and you can have a system that is pretty indistinguishable from the one you broke in 2-3 hours probably! Yet another testament to the usability of Mepis in particular and Linux in general!

I agree, it is amazingly quick to be up and running again--as long as your data partition is separated!
