I love Linux, but for servers only I am afraid.

So, when you say "upgrade is not always possible" ... ?
I am aware that on any OS a dist-upgrade can go horribly wrong, and the worst that
ever means is, as you say, reinstall and preserve only /home/ -- and this is not better or worse than Windows except that once again, the sole point I was trying to make is applicable. That you are not forced to stick with an old OS or shell out more money to use your perfectly good hardware with newer versions of free software.
And for the record, rolling-release distros rule.
Question: what does keeping 3 versions of python have to do with anything that anyone has said?
