Like expr, but for floating point numbers?

I would like to have something like "expr", but not restricted to integers. For example, I have a bunch of numbers: 99 100 99 98 100 . . . and I take their average with "awk". This gives me some floating point number. Now I would like to compare, in a shell script, this floating point num

Which files in /var to back up?

With the advent of apt-get and cable modems, it appears I no longer have to back up every file on my machine. In particular, things like debian packages can be easily retrieved after a crash, provided that the appropriate status files exist. Presumably these are files in /var like /var/lib/dpkg/
