OS reinstallation would be much easier with a plugin that could dump your entire list of Firefox plugins and reload them later.
Does anybody know of a plugin like that? I’ve used screenshots to remember which plugins I’d installed, then reinstalled them one at a time, but that’s a remarkably sucky way to go.

The new Ubuntu is out. Download it here if you haven’t already.
For my non-technical readers:
Ubuntu is a flavor of Linux, an operating system that can replace Windows. Linux is open sourced, meaning you can look at the code and see how it works. It’s also free to download and includes a ton of world-class open-source [...]

The PageRank for Software for Starving Students (via Google’s toolbar) went clear from 0 to 5 with the latest data update. That’s pretty indicative of the almost immediate success the project has enjoyed. The site has only been up since the very end of December but has had some really incredible growth. Just check out [...]
Jake Spurlock IMed me pointing out that the Mac version of the Software for Starving Students CD is listed as Apple’s featured download for Mac OS X. This is great exposure for the project. Good work team. :)
