test..

i have formatted my pc yesterday, i am back today. thanks to proper planning i have not lost a single byte. here are a few things to keep in mind.


  • back up mail

  • back up working directory.. place where you keep the latest things

  • burn a cd of useful programs.. include flashget winzip zonealarm

  • copy service packs of your future windoze

  • note down the tcp/ip configs.. passwords.. contacts list etc.


i am simply not ready to use solely linux..
