I've been using Ubuntu on my corporate compaq nc6000 laptop since the
Warty and upgrading all the way to Dapper. Naturally it has gathered 
various configuration cruft along the way.

Recently I installed Dapper from scratch and have taken notes of all the

It is a cut-n-paste from a personal, private wiki so the formatting is a
little rough.
