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.

Fedora

Ubuntu

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
