Well actually, this is what we tend to do in corporate land - we ensure
that users just don't store any data locally, and if they experience any
kind of problem then we just F12 at boot, PXE boot, and deploy a new
image to the box. The way it is that there is just no point in spending
more than 30 minutes on a system looking for what the problem is, just
re-image as it takes less time. Manually installing a new Ubuntu by hand
still takes less time, and you can be sure that if the problem was a
security issue - malware, virus or whatever, then you'll obliterate that
as well.
