[wplug] My distro beat up your distro (yet again, sigh) -- WAS: OS X on Linux?

[Mackenzie Morgan]

Set it up once, then backup ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2 and ~/.gnome2_private
(what's the difference between all those anyway?) and copy them into your
new ~ on each box.  Also, you may like to check out Sabayon (the program,
not the distro).  It lets you set all your settings, then save (if I
understand correctly) a GConf profile of those settings.  You can save
multiple ones and use Sabayon to switch between them.

Wow, I need to get around to getting a newer graphics card.  Websites just
are not made for 800x600 these days. *grumbles that Google devs should know
how to do fluid layouts*
