whatever works for you, and if it's proven to work that's good.
just don't be the guy who lost it all in 'a crash' because we all should
know better.

i like linux but there's many aspects of it which can be a pain in the ass;
mostly 3rd party developer related.  there's some stuff that has multiple
versions, old and new that are being actively developed. they are still working
on old versions of various shit and it's insane.  that's part of the reason why
my linux setup that runs my irc and other junk is in a vm.
it's very easy to just backup the container files and run old shit until
it wont run no more.
