"How long did those scripts take you to write?" Quite a while; I haven't totalled up the hours but I'd guess several days at least.
"How long did those scripts take you to write?" Quite a while; I haven't totalled up the hours but I'd guess several days at least. The amount of time it's saved me must surely exceed that. I've installed a good number of machines (personal, work, hacking etc.) from scratch using them. I generally don't bother upgrading OSs, either; I just perform a fresh installation, run the scripts, and tweak whatever is broken in the latest release. History is here: https://github.com/duncan-bayne/mint-setup/branches "With similar scripts an OS X machine could also be configured." Not in my experience. I did spend - along with a team of very smart OSX-based developers - quite some time trying and failing to achieve a similar level of automation on OSX. We got tantalisingly close at times, but never achieved anything like the level of control possible on Linux or BSD. Edited : oh, and having those scripts on hand can be really useful when attempting to provision ancient hardware. See e.g. https://github.com/duncan-bayne/g3-setup/wiki
