Perhaps some kind of snapshot system where you could restore back to known good
hard drive image? :)

Maybe you could even create a "poor man's snapshot system" this way....

1. Copy ENTIRE harddrive to /tmp/.my_snapshot.
2. Hack away to your heart's content.
3. If any breakage, just diff / against /tmp/.my_snapshot to restore! yay!
