Hiya!

So while Dave warmed up the crowd on the M$ related questions...

...and at the risk of being stoned in the Linux public square, is there 
*any* form of the System Restore function that follws the model of the 
~other~ OS?

One of my former direct reports, a wiz kid sys admin in the Bay area all 
ready gave me the standard smart a$$ response; (Er, yeah! It's called a 
"RE-INSTALL" ...lemme spall it for yah again!! ha ha ha ha) So after I got 
up off the floor from gut level laughter.. (NOT!), I continue to believe 
that for nooby converts, and maintaining it's customization ability via the 
Linux model, would be a very useful tool!!!

I have spent many hours recently setting up a custom audio distro that will 
be remastered and available as a live CD. I'm no Linux sys admin...I figure 
stuff out any way I can, take longer than most to get it just how I like 
it....and then I say..hmm, just one more thing I'd like to change....and I 
bjork the window manager or some such thing. To re-install at that point 
kills MANY hours of fruitfull work and I'm old enough that I don't need 
cliche lessons! :)

Thoughts?   Oh, please choose smooth edged stones under 16oz in weight!
