Ismael,

Cool.  I wonder if it'd be worth creating a git repo (repo.or.cz?)
that each of us could add a few of our favorite scripts to.  This
might benefit the whole community as it would at least give one
a starting place if doing something similar.

I have two scripts that fit this category: backup, switchmga.  The
backup script's main function is obvious, but if the name is linked
to by lchroot, lmount, lumount, it serves to customize these primary
commands.  switchmga will switch between xorg-modular's  video
drivers for the mga.  It could be easily adapted to any driver and
I've included env variables to assist.

Any thoughts?
