Oh, not a server but my home linux computer gets re-installed all the time, luckly I have a server!! I just love to fiddle!!
Indeed, that's a given with Linux, especially with so many tasty distros to try.
At work though 2 of my 8 servers need re-installing as they are running Mandrake 10 and you can no longer get updates!!
Not quite what I had in mind. I have an ISP running all of my client web sites on a Fedora server (I run a web hosting and design company with my 6th form as part of their AVCE - now GCE Applied). It locked up on Tuesday as all the sites run Mambo/MySQL. After a lot of hair pulling, shouting etc at my ISP they sent me a message today that the server had been hacked "probably" and that I had to ftp all the files somewhere and re-install the server OS. I am appalled and I wonder if this is something common with "reputable" ISPs? Paul

How many people on the list have had a Linux server hacked to the point that it needs to be reinstalled?
