If your goal is to learn how it works this was great, a new challenge every day.

Perhaps we need a chaosmonkey Linux distro.

Also FreeBSD did this well recently, migrating libc and libsys in the wrong order so you have no kernel API. That was fun.

I was hit with that on a remote box in another country! Should have researched the upgrade more before I did it, but it is a personal thing and not work.

However, my IPMI motherboard and FreeBSD's integrated ZFS boot environments might be considered cheating...
