[Discuss] mirroring a machine.

[Michael Foltinek]

Are you installing and uninstalling a bunch of stuff? I can't see why
just mirroring your homedir with Unison
(http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/) wouldn't suffice.
Alternatively, use the linux-live scripts to create a live CD of your
base install plus your customizations.

True compassion is more than flinging a coin at a beggar; it comes to
see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.
