What distros have you used? I have never had this happen. The
last half-dozen machines I've had Linux on, I've installed Debian
exactly once (each) and then upgraded numerous times from there.
"apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade" always works for
stable and most of the time for unstable.
Seriously, Linux is not perfect--software never is--but you seem
to have had some really bad experience with it.
