Hi, IMO you should first discuss what exactly you wish to archive on the Ubuntu user mailing list, since most likely you just need a good backup concept, that fits to your needs. What defaults do you mean? E.g. services that by default are executed during startup and that were disabled by you and/or the selected desktop theme, font sizes and the wallpaper? How should e.g. an edited fstab be handled? Should only default install package names and user installed package names get preserved by a list or should downgrading to versions that were installed before an upgrade be provided?
