mkusb PPAs for vivid (Phill Whiteside)

[Andre Rodovalho]

Hello Nio, I don't use any OEM feature. My install includes printer drivers
and configuration, and also some shortcuts to software we use there.

So, when I recover, I just change the hostname and password if needed. All
user names are the same, it is easier for me to access the machines over
ssh...
