Well I often pursue the following methodolgy when trying something new.

Make a base image, this can include stuff I am certain about.

Back up the image.

Continue experimenting with the base image, if I mess up, then flash a
new one and continue.

When I have found the correct path, I make a new image and install the
"whatever" and make a back up image of that.

And progress in this manner until I am happy with what I have, and, you
guessed it, make a back up image.

When I see something that interests me on this or other forums I have a
play.

Sometimes I have given up because the methodology defeats me (trying to
build perl for a 32 bit install was my last failure) but I always learn
new stuff and the devs here are a patient bunch :)
