Perhaps some kind of snapshot system where you could restore back to known good

Or, you could run a VM that's near enough to your production systems, and screw up in a sandbox first. Bonus if you use VMware's snapshots on your VM, so you really can reset to working condition.

1) find neat thing you want to try
2) take snapshot of system
3) try
4) fail
5) revert to snapshot

If you're using VMware Workstation (worth the money, IMHO), you even get "snapshot trees" (i.e., keep old snapshots, revert to any without losing any, "branch" snapshots...)
