I use Arch as my main OS (I refuse to acknowledge any personal connection between myself and the computer I use at work). Arch does a rolling release, but when I did a lot of distro-hopping I preferred clean installs to upgrades.

At this point, I'm new enough to partitioning and manually installing that it's all fun and games, and upgrading would seem boring next to it. I'm sure it'll grow old at some point, and I'll appreciate letting the system doing all the work for me :o)

Agreed with regard to work computer. I have to run Windows at work because Solidworks doesn't run on any other OS, but the amount of grief Windows has caused us is tremendous.

If I ever had a company, it'd run purely on Linux, or not run at all :o)
