I don't want to argue you out of org-mode. ;-)
But for logging additional packages, you might look at tasksel(8). If
you create a description file of your packages, you can use this with
tasksel, when you set up a new system.
e.g. /usr/local/share/tasksel/local.desc:
Task: kids
Section: user
Description:
Applications for kids.
Packages: list
gcompris
tuxpaint
Task: development
Section: user
Description: Development tools
Tools needed for software development.
Packages: list
emacs23
emacs23-common-non-dfsg
bbdb
emacs-goodies-el
yasnippet
git
gcc
g++
gdb
gdb-doc
Task: net
Section: user
Description:
Packages for networking and internet.
Packages: list
xul-ext-noscript
xul-ext-cookie-monster
dovecot-imapd
fetchmail
And logging configuration changes could be done with git(1). If you
checkin the base configuration in /etc, /var/lib/... you can always see changes
you made with "git status" and "git diff".
