My root drive is wiped every time I reboot and rebuilt quickly and automatically. The only stuff that survives is stuff I specify. No cruft, no slowdown. If I want to simply try an app, I can install it, play around with it and if I reboot without specifying that I want it to stick around, it's gone with all its config files, etc... Every reboot feels like a brand new install but with all the files you care about still there. </p><p>Not something I'd give to a beginner to set up but pretty awesome.</p>
