As I installed
Ubuntu on my laptop this days to have something to compare against my “usual”
openSUSE installations I kinda had to start with an empty $HOME, again. Not a big deal, a simple SVN checkout and my
subversioned $HOME solves that problem.
Except for the Mozilla applications:
Firefox and
Thunderbird.
It’s the same over and over again, create profile, install extensions, edit profile …
Now you might say “But I don’t do this that often!”, that’s correct. For myself, I stumble over new extensions and stuff quiet often and while using 3 (Windows + Linux) boxes regularly, I have to make the changes three times each time. Annoying.
And as these apps use absolute paths in their configfiles you are absolutely f***** when thinking about sharing profiles between Windows and Linux.
Need to Google some more … any hints appreciated.
Thanks Paul for the congratulations, the best for you and your wife also.
