I concur with your decision not to experiment with your kernel. However, I would recommend a program called image for Linux http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm . There is a 30 day free trial. If you like it, pay the $29 bucks or so for a license. The only reason I recommend Image for Linux (IFL) is because it is extremely simple to use, backs up all of your master boot records, and restoring is a snap. It would allow you to make a snapshot, play around with your system, and if you break it, you can be up and running in less than 10 min. Frequently, I make a restore DVD for anyone who wants to break form Windows but would like an easy recovery system.
