Don't know about you, but my OS-installs last longer than my hardware.
Most of my machines run the Debian testing I installed in 2003 on my
wife's Thinkpad (with regular "aptitude upgrade"s applied, of course).

I consider my OS installs completely transient. I wipe them all the time, moving it around, new hard drives, trying different raid things, etc. I never keep an OS on a "main" machine longer than a year.

Not saying it is a good way to do it, but it makes backups really important, and that can't be all bad.
