This is a linux machine after all and setting everything up exactly the way you want can take quite a while (freedom of choice can be a bitch). In my case it takes over 5 hours of setup time from bare metal to a comfortable system with all the applications I use on a daily basis. So it's a good idea to insure your time investment by making backups of the entire root filesystem over SSH to a remote machine.
