   Are there any hardware configurations in the $HOME directory?  I know all the   
   software   
   configs are there.  It would be nice to just drop in a copy of $HOME and be   
   done with it.   
   I normally create a ton of smaller tar files now and then and just extract   
   them on a new   
   install.  Kinda messy but I do it in scripts.
