Since all your settings are stored in your home directory, simply
backing that up and reinstalling the OS should preserve your settings.
 When you log in under your account again, your settings will be
preserved.  As for plugins that you installed systemwide (perhaps
something like flashplugin-nonfree), you'll need to install those
again using apt-get / Synaptic / aptitude after the OS is up and
running.
