this is nice, some top tips, appreciated.

1 alt tho .. not virtualbox, best to specify virtualbox 3 .. guess that’ll be the standard in koala repos tho?

also, clonezilla is worth a mention. then again, where do you stop ;)

er, yeah, have binned mono (and tomboy) for gnote, which does the same .. export old notes with ..

cp .tomboy/*.note .gnote/

.. very clean migration. the again, Zim is super-nice wiki-style for desktop notes

(tx to theOpenSourcerer for some of those ideas.)

then again, my breakfast’s gettin cold ..

sudo aptitude install xxxxxx and sudo aptitude remove xxxxxx is perhaps, the better way to go as aptitude will remove the unused dependencies, whereas apt-get will not. ;)
