And you know, you can always just export all the registry keys that your programs put in, and then apply them should you need to wipe the OS partition.

And really, who needs the registry? As long as you got vi, pine, lynx, ssh, perl, gcc, and nethack, you're set.

Of course you won't. Emacs beats Vi any time of the week. *Ducks*

I wouldn't offend glibc by leaving out of the list, though. That monster of a library can get offended pretty quick, so you should always treat it with all due respect. I'm partial to apt myself. One command, and plenty of programs get reinstalled; configuration files are a little more annoying, though nothing to write home about.

The guys in the OS course thought I was crazy, but it works great.
