Hello newfy78

Welcome to Mint.

The list is a good idea but having done all that work can I suggest that you do a remaster of your system so that if you have to re-install its just a matter of loading from your backup. If you check the forum it really is very easy to do.

Really?! :shock:
I never had any problems, but there you go!
Freedom of choice is GREAT! :D

If you want an alternative to Ghost, use Clonezilla, if you want to make a bootable image of your installed system use Remastersys.
