[SGVLUG] The Day After an Install (Post Install To Do's - Some Meeting Topics)

[Greg Stark]

I feel BJ has made a valid point.  So here is a quick pass at "The Day After
an Install".  I would like to here what are some of the first things you do
to your box (it's the little things that count.)  Or if your migrating by
doing a fresh install.  How do you get your "stuff" over into the new OS
(How did you skin that cat!)
