tar I knew about... the rest no... Yes this is what I was pretty much looking for... other than my $HOME, what are the important bits to backup?
Thanks,

way I assumed etc.   Basically, undoing dumb stuff.

The best way would be 'Don't do dumb stuff" but being rather new to
linux, the fact that what I am about to do is dumb, does not occur to me
until after I am through doing it....

You don't really need a "system restore" in linux; settings are all
stored in files you can back up. There's no registry or anything like
that. Since you're new to linux, let me direct you to

dd
tar
pax
star

which are all ways to create backups easily. Might not really be what
you're looking for, or maybe you already know about them, but I'm
pointing them out just in case.
