[00:46] <ubuntu_raj> Hey everyone, what time on Tuesday is the next meeting
[00:47] <sagaci> 8pm AEST
[00:47] <sagaci> also, it's in the topic
[00:48] <ubuntu_raj> Oh yeah i see now 8pm
[00:50] <ubuntu_raj> Anyone here from Brisbane?
[00:54] <ubuntu_raj> Hey guys would you recommend upgrading or clean installs when Natty is out?
[00:54] <ubuntu_raj> I'm running maverick
[00:55] <valorin> Clean install is always recommended, it's annoying reinstalling applications but it prevents issues with old config breaking stuff
[00:55] <valorin> My method is to use a different partition for /home so I can keep my home directory as-is
[00:55] <valorin> although, it's often good to clear out the config in there too. (I.e. I only keep docs, pics, and config for specific programs)
[00:56] <ubuntu_raj> How can backup or create a list of the apps I have installed?
[00:57] <valorin> There isn't really an easy way to do that, unfortunantly. Let me look on AskUbuntu for a helpful guide.. one sec
[00:57] <ubuntu_raj> Thanks
[00:58] <valorin> This might do what you are after: http://askubuntu.com/questions/17823/how-to-list-all-installed-packages
[00:59] <valorin> It's not pretty though.. it's one thing I really wish was in the Software Center - the ability to save a list of apps so it can be installed on another machine
[01:01] <ubuntu_raj> Thanks ....ill see if I can decipher that
[01:02] <valorin> No worries :)
[01:02] <valorin> If it doesn't really give you what you need, you can always start a new question on AskUbuntu :)
[01:04] <ubuntu_raj> Will do
