              In Linux it is possible to create a list of installed software that you can later use to re-download the software should you have to reinstall your operating system. I have made this process even easier by writing three scripts for backing up and restoring installed software in Ubuntu, Sabayon, and Fedora.

In Linux it is possible to create a list of installed software that you can later use to re-download the software should you have to reinstall your operating system. I have made this process even easier by writing three scripts for backing up and restoring installed software in Ubuntu, Sabayon, and Fedora. Here are the download links:
  
Fedora
  Ubuntu
  Sabayon
  
To use the scripts, open Terminal and login as root or super user and then run the script.
  On Fedora:
su
sh fedora_backup_and_restore.sh
  On Ubuntu:
sudo bash ubuntu_backup_and_restore.sh
  On Sabayon:
su
sh sabayon_backup_and_restore.sh Full Story  |
