The above reminds me about that joke about Unix being user friendly...
"it´s just selective about whom his friends are".

Really, nobody thought about creating a bash script that does all of
the above?. I´m convinced that Linux needs less ´howtos´ with large
blobs of commands to cut-and-paste into a shell, and more ´howtos
turned into scripts, added to the base system´.
