Just curious, for those of you who occasionally hop distros or do clean installs, do you have a "required" list of commands or programs that you run right after install is done. Mine are:

chmod 700 /home/username
sudo aptitude update/upgrade
sudo aptitude install build-essential
sudo aptitude install chkrootkit
sudo aptitude install geany
sudo aptitude remove tracker
sudo aptitude remove compiz
and a change of splash screen
