I'm finding it much easier to just wipe the systems out and start over.  
Its not like its that hard.  I just back up the configuration files I 
need, and go to it.

Saves me alot of time and energy, and things seem to work alot smoother.

I've rebuilt all my desktops... just have one notebook to do...  It'll 
be the hardest cause its setup for network diagnostic work.
