I usually do that too, but there are wrinkles. I end up installing lots of 
stuff that SuSE doesn't include in the distribution (why isn't bittorrent 
included?) via checkinstall. That pain can be lessened by having a separate 
'/usr/local' partition.

In addition, even though I have a '/home' partition that doesn't get 
formatted, there is the stuff in '.kde' that I worry about, like will I miss 
any reorganization of the default menus in the new version of the distro by 
not starting from a clean slate.

If your desktop gets out of control easily,
you probably have too much stuff on it that
doesn't need to be there.
