Hi developers once again!!
I posted one of my idea for final yr pjt and i am happy to get satisfying response to it.
As of now, we have decided to develop "SYSTEM RESTORE" in ubuntu.


Existing s/w:
I googled and found that sbackup helps to backup and restore.
I found it will not help in the following situation:

a, I updated 9.04 and next time I could not enter the desktop due to erratic display in the monitor.
Now I could not use sbackup to restore.

Some developers' suggestions:
Restore points should be added to the grub menu which would help general ubuntu users to restore back ubuntu to stable state sans any confusion.
We would like to implement this idea and i would like to get ur feedbacks reg this( based on feasibility, idea etc)?
