Set things up?? Well, if you have /home on a separate partition, you don't ever need to re-apply settings to anything. You just re-install the / OS and plug in your /home. All your settings are kept in .x files in your home folder. On Ubuntu, the home partition can be set to automount somewhere during the install process. I haven't re-done any of my bookmarks, nautilus sizes, e-mail settings, or IM settings... in memory. What the heck? Set things up??
