True, but i am not just talking about how to clean up after a program.. both systems needs a format once in awhile. Although i had to format my winXP install aprox every six month.. i still do it with Ubuntu. Not cause the system cloggs up (cause it doesn't) but cause to the ubuntu release cycle. Although i could use the OTA upgrade i like a fresh system. i just reinstall the programs.. all the settings and stuff are still there.
