"Many common operating systems may require a complete installation to be "
"performed when critical failures take place or for upgrades to new OS "
"versions. Even if a completely new installation isn't required, often the "
"programs you use must be re-installed to operate properly in the new OS."

"Under &debian-gnu;, it is much more likely that your OS can be repaired "
"rather than replaced if things go wrong. Upgrades never require a wholesale "
"installation; you can always upgrade in-place. And the programs are almost "
"always compatible with successive OS releases. If a new program version "
"requires newer supporting software, the &debian; packaging system ensures "
"that all the necessary software is automatically identified and installed. "
"The point is, much effort has been put into avoiding the need for re-"
"installation, so think of it as your very last option. The installer is "
"<emphasis>not</emphasis> designed to re-install over an existing system."
