Basically, you set up the Debian Net install without any DE installed, and you run my setup script, and wham! you have pre-cooked rice, along with a /usr/bin full of useful programs. Aiming for a complete install size of less than a gig, and for the script to be interoperable between PPC, ARM, and x86 (because I use all three arches occasionally)

I'm mainly doing this to save time next time I install debian on something. If other people like it and want to use it, so be it. I just hope /r/unixporn doesn't end up chock-full of screenshots from people who installed debian, ran my script, added a tacky conky, and said "Look at my rice"

I did this for a few different distributions and FreeBSD for myself. It takes all my configuration files from my github, installed the programs I use, and all the scripts I use that either I wrote or I found from somewhere else and copies all the music I currently am listening to from my server, as well as the documents and whatever else I needed when I wrote the script from an external HDD.
