Hello,
I lost count of the number of times my blind experimentation (along
with sheer stupidity (like the time I uninstalled the package
installer DOH!). Do not be afraid of this. However, the best
advice I ever got on this list was to mount your /home directory on a
seperate partition. When (If!) you need to reinstall, only install
the /root on the root partition, thus saving all your personal files.
This isn't as technical as it sounds, but I would defer to someone
better schooled in these matters to step you through it.

PS: you might want to leave the "reply to address" blanc on your mail
client (Kmail, etc). It makes it easier for people to simple "reply"
to you.
