prestobuntu

A script to customize Ubuntu to my preferences. It is intended to be idempotent, so it's safe to run it multiple times; it will only apply the changes once.

• Boot
  • Text instead of graphics
• System
  • Allow sudo without password
  • Make system journal persistent across reboots

Installation

The installation script is auto-updating and has many safety checks. Of course, you should inspect and verify it before running (as one should do before running any arbitrary shell script from the Internet).

Installation from local file

nano setup  # inspect and verify the script
bash setup

Installation from Internet

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/presto8/prestobuntu/master/setup
nano setup  # inspect and verify the script
bash setup
