Over time, I have found a configuration that I like. However, each time I upgrade or switch distros, everything starts from scratch, and it usually takes me a month to migrate all my data, install the applications, and configure everything. Before I begin next time, I would like to capture data about my configuration. Then, I would like to give this file to the installer as a recipe for how I would like the box to work (or as a separate step after installation). Are there any good tools for this? I have most of my data on a separate drive, which helps. But what tools are available to record package lists and configurations?
