Actually, I stopped, as I discovered that each new system is an opportunity to experiment (and to prune out the cruft that isn't needed). And because the scripts I'd haul around from system to system were getting bloated with irrelevant cruft.
And by starting anew on a new machine, I manage to avoid getting too caught up in the "oh, look at all the bizarre customizations I can do!" bandwagon. > If you make changes to files you may end up with 'version creep' > as all your home directories slowly diverge. > > Any advice how to manage this complexity? Put it all under version-control. If it's all on a local network, use an NFS-mounted (or equivalent) home directory from a central server. -- _ |\_ \| -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
