Always wondered if there wasn’t a better, more automated way.

When I was playing with different distros / troubleshooting this one, I wrote a bash script that will install all the software I needed, so I could re-install without worry. The script sets up my user account, hostname, NFS mount points, wallpaper that I like, adds a couple of PPAs, sets up my VPN, performs a full update/upgrade, and reboots.

It's pretty nice.

Oh I figured a script could be made but I’m not a coder at all.

I’d be interested in the script if is generic enough that you could share it sir.
