That is a good idea. One question - is there a quick way to get a list of all the best apps you have used on the old system and install them using zypper in kind of a quick fashion? Or is it better to just do them one at a time. I know that Yast is probably easier because you can just click on all the ones you want before installing, but I am wondering if there is a kind of standard way to do that.
You know, the only best way and safest way of doing things is to do what our grandparents did: use a pencil and paper to write things down which they thought should not be forgotten when the old brain goes off the rails :-) .
So, the short answer to your question is: no, I don't know of any quick method except just making a note of what your favourite apps are and installing them when you are doing a new installation [***] of the OS :-) .
I keep a little notebook where I write down apps which I should install and prevent from being installed (like gimp documentation for example). The same little "black book" contains hints and solutions I find in these mail lists.
IIRC, it is possible to build a file that's used for duplicating installations.
