So i need to reinstall my system.
But i don't want to eat up the 2 days it's going to take me to re-install / transfer all my files back on.Is there any easy ways to backup my user folder and just drop it back in when I'm ready? Would i have to reinstall all my programs?
What do you guys do when you have to reinstall your system?

What makes you think you need to reinstall your system?
There are 3 types of Install offered in the Installer...the first two don't require a new User folder (Archive and Install will fix most problems, it makes a new System folder and backs up the old one).

Archive and Install: This option saves your existing system files in a special archive, then installs Tiger. You can choose to automatically import your user information and settings into Tiger so you don’t have to reconfigure your printers, Mail and other applications.
