I think I could screw up pretty much anything out there. :)

And when that doesn't work, there are backups. I really like the Etch 
installer when all else fails. It gives a very fine grained control if 
you want it.

I agree. I may not always agree with Linus' methodology (though I do 
agree with him about KDE vs. Gnome), but he is a guy I ultimately 
respect. He may shoot his mouth off, but the is a fair bit of substance 
behind the guy. When he shoots off his mouth about SCO, he can actually 
be quite funny.
