Bug Description

If Ubuntu gets corrupted (on its own or as a result of the installation of some "not so good" software), it's nice to be able to quickly fall back to the known "working state" of the system, without needing to restore it from an existing (or, often, non-existing) backup.

This is usually achieved by periodically creating (automatically as well as manually) "checkpoints" with snapshots of the working states of the system. We should have this feature in Ubuntu. Windows XP has it.
