First of all, let me make it clear that this is only meant to be a joke.
No really, it's a joke.
Please, for the love of God, do not pervert GNU/Linux into Windows, by giving it the worst configuration storage system of all time.
Having said that, it does actually work (FSVO: "work").
The following takes the contents of "/etc" and "$HOME/{userid}/{dotfiles}", and creates a Windows-style "Registry" from them, comprising two Sqlite3 databases: SYSTEM.DAT.db and USER.DAT.db respectively.
Turn off (uncheck) "Block reported attack sites" and "Block reported web forgeries" in Firefox/Icecat security preferences. Unless you're an idiot, or running Windows, then you probably don't need this.
Then quit Firefox/Icecat, and:
cd "$HOME"
find . -name urlclassifier3.sqlite -exec rm -f {} ';' -exec touch {} ';'
su -c "find . -name urlclassifier3.sqlite -exec chattr +i {} ';'"
"chattr +i" means "change the file attributes to immutable", meaning "can't change or delete".
This will now ensure urlclassifier3.sqlite remains a zero byte file forever.

It surely hasn't escaped anyone's attention that motherboards based on AMD's G34 socket and Opteron 6100 processors are, putting it mildly, a bit scarce. In fact it looks like they've disappeared completely.
So what happened?
According to a poster with insider information, on the Pro Tools Forums:
It's my understanding that the most recent versions of OSX have departed from the Unix kernel heritage.
I have heard from a reliable source, inside Digidesign, that they actually have Protools running on Linux, and that the port from OSX isn't that hard, but are under contract obligation to Microsoft to not release a Linux port. Otherwise Microsoft can revoke their access to the Windows SDK.
